Whole Grain Goodness for Everyone
The specialty of Nature’s Path is, and has always been, everything “whole grain”. If you decide to go “gluten free” then there is no healthier option than organic gluten free--products that are not only gluten free but also free of other things that can compromise health. Add to that, Non-GMO Project verified for an extra assurance when it comes to food safety.Nature’s Path uses gluten-free grains such as buckwheat, quinoa, millet, sorghum, amaranth, brown rice, flax, teff, and whole grain corn.
Amaranth: Long considered a native crop in Peru, amaranth was a major food crop of the ancient Aztecs and played a part in their religious practices as well. Amaranth is gluten free, high in protein, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. It is the only grain that also contains vitamin C.
Brown Rice: Naturally gluten free, whole-grain rice is usually brown but can also be black, purple, or even red. It is one of the most easily digested grains and though it is lower in fiber, it is still rich in many other nutrients.
Buckwheat: It is not technically a grain at all and not any kind of wheat, but rather, a cousin of rhubarb! It is the only grain to have high levels of an antioxidant called rutin and of course, it is gluten free too.
 | Certified gluten free and wheat free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, an independent service that supervises gluten-free food production according to a consistent, defined, science-based standard that is confirmed by field inspections. Nature’s Path was the first USDA Certified producer of organic breakfast cereal in North America and we're the larges manufacturer of organic cereals to this day. Many of our gluten-free products are Non-GMO Project verified. GMO crops are found in so many of the foods implicated in health and digestive issues and have yet to be proven safe. We keep them out of our foods because we don’t believe in using people as guinea pigs in a lab experiment. Quality Assurance International is a third party certification organization that regularly inspects to ensure stringent organic food standards are met. All Nature’s Path foods are Kosher. |
Whole Grain Corn: While it’s true that corn may be familiar, don’t overlook it when it comes to antioxidants. Corn has the highest levels of antioxidants of any grain or vegetable!
Quinoa: It is another “grain” that is not quite a grain. Quinoa is actually a relative of Swiss chard and beets. This gluten free grain was a favorite of the Incas. It comes from South America and is a small, light colored grain that looks a bit like sesame seeds. It is a complete protein, delivering all the essential amino acids our bodies need.
Sorghum: This hearty gluten free grain from Africa thrives where other grains would wither and die. It can be eaten like popcorn, cooked into porridge, or made into flour. It is very popular with people who have gluten issues.
Teff: This is a tiny grain that comes from Africa--it is 1/150th the size of a wheat kernel. The fact that “teff” comes from the word “teffa” meaning “lost” starts to make sense. Teff has a sweet, molasses-like taste and can be used for baked goods, porridge, or "teff polenta". It is high in iron and calcium.

Nice gluten-free choice,
This review is from: EnviroKidz Organic Gorilla Munch Cereal, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) (Misc.)
I've used it successfully as a snack for my gluten allergic son. It's a good tasting cereal. One buying with allergies in mind should be aware though that it has the warning that the product may contain traces of peanuts, tree nuts or soy.

Tasty & Filling -- A Rarity for Gluten-Free!,
By
This review is from: EnviroKidz Organic Gorilla Munch Cereal, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) (Misc.)
Gorilla Munch has been a real life-saver for me. Having celiac disease, I have gotten used to cereals that taste and feel like soggy cardboard. Gorilla Munch is extra crunchy, which in and of itself is like a treat, and it keeps its flavor even when milk is added, which almost never happens with gluten-free cereals. It's more affordably priced than the other gluten-free cereals on the market and is very filling, at least for me. I usually mix in a teaspoon of FiberSure to help make it a little more nutritional, and sometimes I add fresh fruit, which goes very well with it. For those who do not like the crunchiness of Gorilla Munch, I've found that using unsweetened almond milk rather than cow's milk seems to soften it up almost instantly, for some reason.
I take issue with the idea that Gorilla Munch is nothing but junk being targeted at children. This cereal is marketed to children who cannot eat gluten, meaning they're mostly children who are used to food tasting terrible (those with celiac disease or wheat allergies) and children who are /positively/ stimulated by bright colors and designs (those with autism). They are already on strict diets which require that they watch their nutrient intake, so having one mostly fluff product is not going to hurt them. Children on gluten-free diets aren't exactly the ones you worry about eating doughnuts and cookies every day, and with all of the bland, soggy food we're stuck with, they deserve a treat once in a while. And with almost no other brand making fun-looking gluten-free items geared at children, it's good to have at least /something/ to look at, especially something that's educational. Additionally, EnviroKidz is a great company to support. They spread awareness about important environmental and animal rights issues through their products, they use only environment-friendly organic products, and they give 1% of their proceeds to related causes. When I have called their customer service line in the past, they have been exceptionally helpful, once even giving me a full refund for a product that was only slightly damaged. I would much rather give them my money than some of the other lines out there. In brief, Gorilla Munch is a great cereal that helps put some life back into a gluten-free diet. It's nice to be able to eat a bowl of cereal again and not have to be reminded of my special diet and how restrictive it can be. Thank you, Gorilla Munch!

Organic, Moderate Sodium Product,
By Robert A. Williams "libertarian" (Oberlin, OH United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: EnviroKidz Organic Gorilla Munch Cereal, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) (Misc.)
If you are skipping sodium in order to keep your sodium intake below the RDA of 500 mg, then this product has too much sodium for you despite its "low sodium" claim: Serving size: 3/4 cup (30g); 9 servings per box; 100 mg of sodium; 1 gram of total fat (0 g saturated or trans fat); 0 mg cholesterol; 26 g total carbohydrate (9 g sugars); and 2 g of dietary fiber.
That said, this is quite a yummy breakfast cereal, especially for a puffed corn cereal. The ingredients are organic corn meal, organic evaporated cane juice, and sea salt. It must be the cane juice that makes it taste so much better than its mainstream nonorganic competitors. My daughter and I finished off the box in one morning! The box design is unusually informative and my daughter took it apart at the seam in order to spread it out like a poster. On the back of the box is "The Story of Kureba", a gorilla born on October 3, 1999 in the war-torn country of Rwanda. Readers are encouraged to help Kureba, his mother, and his family by contributing to an Adopt-A-Gorilla program. On the inside of the box are 4 stories: What Does The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International Do?, Saving Gorillas, Isaro and Uncle Rano, and the Adopt-A-Gorilla program.
