Marion's Smart Delights introduces the first gluten-free lemon bar mix so people with celiac disease, food allergies, and diabetes can enjoy delicious treats with minimum sugar and salt.
12/13/2010 --- There has been a dramatic increase in the number of gluten-free products sold in stores and websites, but there has not been a gluten-free lemon bar mix - until now. Just introduced by Marion's Smart Delights, the new lemon bar baking mix is not only certified gluten-free, but also allergen-free, Kosher certified and made with 100% natural ingredients, including gluten-free whole grains. Like Marion's Cookie & Muffin Baking Mix, Marion's Lemon Bar Mix returns the joy of baking and eating to people with celiac disease, food allergies, food intolerances, diabetes and everyone seeking delicious taste and wholesome nutrition. The mixes are available in select stores or can be purchased directly on the website ($5.99 for the cookie/muffin mix; $6.49 for the lemon bar mix).
Marion's Smart Delights mixes bake up into luscious treats with rich, old-fashioned flavor and wholesome nutrition. They are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility, contain whole grains, low sodium and reduced sugar compared with leading mixes. To create baking mixes that are free of gluten and the top 8 allergens, yet delicious, Marion Braswell, PhD, president of Marion's Smart Delights, experimented for years and consulted with leading nutritionists. According to Braswell, Marion's Smart Delights delicious and nutritious baking mixes let everyone enjoy a happier, healthier relationship with food. "Our products can be made to meet many special dietary needs from heart-healthy to gluten-free. We provide nutritional information and diabetes exchanges. You can indulge your sweet tooth and know that you made a smart nutritional choice."
The new website features many resources and recipes for using Marion's Smart Delights baking mixes to create a wide array of mouth-watering gluten-free treats like scrumptious carrot cake muffins and cranberry bread. Enjoy dairy-free, vegan, and heart healthier versions of the basic cookie, muffin and lemon bar recipes, plus holiday treats, and much, much more.
Also available is the new in-depth report from Steffany Moonaz, PhD, a nationally known Health Behaviorist. Too Sweet for Our Own Good Health: Considerations of Sugar and its Substitutes offers fresh insights into the health consequences of today's super-sweet Western diet, including sugar's role not only in obesity but its links to many other diseases and disorders. In addition, Dr. Moonaz suggests how to explore healthier substitutes for traditional sugar and "re-train the taste buds" to appreciate more subtle natural sweetness.
