Valley Natural Foods is dedicated to offering its customers many fun, great-tasting gluten-free products. One of our new yummy product lines is 1-2-3 Gluten-Free.

The company’s goal is to set a new standard in the taste of gluten-free baking mixes that are simple and easy to make. You don’t have to spend hours upon hours in the kitchen to have scrumptious food.

Valley Natural Foods carries 1-2-3 Gluten-Free biscuit, cornbread, roll, poundcake, pancake and pan bar mixes.

The story behind the product is even more interesting. 1-2-3 Gluten-Free is a mother-daughter team based in Ohio.

The daughter, Kimberlee, was diagnosed with celiac disease over ten years ago. She soon discovered that her niece and a nephew had celiac disease too. However, she didn’t want them growing up without the treats of childhood, such as cakes and yummy bars. Kimberlee insisted that her family only eat the best so off she went to experiment in her kitchen. Soon Kimberlee realized that children and adults alike (both celiac and non-celiac) enjoyed the foods she baked. The rest is history as shortly after she partnered with her mother and 1-2-3 Gluten-Free became a reality.

All 1-2-3 products are manufactured in a gluten-free kosher facility that is peanut, nut and allergen free. All products are free of gluten, nuts, wheat, and peanuts. They also do not include egg or dairy products and all but two are free of corn. All products expect for one are free of soy. Labels clearly indicate all product ingredients. Check out some of their recipes online.
