With more people turning to gluten-free diets for everything from managing celiac disease to boosting energy and gut health, the world of gluten-free food has never been more exciting (or delicious).

The truth is, gluten-free eating doesn’t mean sacrificing the foods you love. In fact, it can open up a whole new world of vibrant meals, wholesome ingredients, and creative cooking. From naturally gluten-free snacks to flavourful bread alternatives and cozy comfort food reimagined, there's something out there for every craving.

And at Queen St. Bakery, we’re on a mission to make gluten-free food not just accessible, but crave-worthy. We bake gluten-free bread, buns, bagels, and more using clean, nutrient-rich ingredients like chia seeds, beans, and gluten-free whole grains—so you never have to choose between taste and health.

Ready to discover the best gluten-free food for every taste and preference? Let’s dig in.

Understanding Gluten-Free Diets

What is a Gluten-Free Diet?

Let’s start with the basics: what exactly is a gluten-free diet?

A gluten-free diet means avoiding any foods that contain gluten, a group of proteins found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten is what gives bread its chew and pasta its elasticity—but for many people, it also gives headaches, stomach pain, fatigue, and more.

That’s because some individuals can’t tolerate gluten at all. For those with celiac disease, even trace amounts of gluten can cause serious damage to the small intestine, leading to long-term health problems if not managed. Others experience symptoms like bloating, brain fog, or joint pain from non-celiac gluten sensitivity, a condition that doesn’t show up on standard tests but still improves with a gluten-free diet.

There are also people with wheat allergies or autoimmune disorders that benefit from limiting or avoiding gluten altogether.

In short: there’s lots of reasons why people may benefit from a gluten-free diet, which means steering clear of gluten-containing grains and processed foods that use them—and replacing them with safe, satisfying alternatives.

Benefits of a Gluten-Free Diet

So why go gluten-free, even if you don’t have celiac disease?

Turns out, gluten-free isn’t just for medical necessity—it can be a lifestyle choice that supports better digestion, more stable energy, clearer thinking, and even better skin (yes, really). For many people, ditching gluten leads to real, noticeable changes in how they feel day-to-day.

Let’s dive into some of the top benefits of a gluten-free diet—and why it’s more than just a health trend.

1. Better Digestion

Let’s talk tummy troubles. Gas, bloating, constipation, and that post-meal “I swallowed a balloon” feeling? Gluten can be a hidden culprit. Many people who switch to a gluten-free diet report a major shift in how their digestive system behaves (spoiler: it gets way happier).

This is especially true for those with non celiac gluten sensitivity, IBS, or other GI issues. When you remove gluten—often found in highly processed bread, crackers, pasta, and snacks—you’re also removing the stuff that tends to mess with your gut flora.

👉 Pro Tip: Swap your morning toast with Queen St. Bakery's Chia Classic Loaf—it’s high in fibre to support digestive health and won’t leave you feeling like you ate a brick.

2. Less Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is like a slow-burning fire in your body—and gluten may be fanning the flames, especially if you’re sensitive to it. For people with autoimmune conditions like celiac disease, Hashimoto’s, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus, gluten can trigger an immune response that causes joint pain, fatigue, skin flare-ups, and more.

Even without a formal diagnosis, many individuals report feeling better overall when gluten is removed from the menu.

Think of a gluten-free diet as a reset button for your system—helping your body calm down, heal, and function at its best.

3. Improved Energy Levels

Raise your hand if you’ve ever had a carb-heavy lunch and then needed a nap by 2 p.m. 🙋

While carbs aren’t the villain here (you still need them!), a gluten-free diet tends to cut out a lot of refined, ultra-processed foods that spike your blood sugar and drain your energy. Instead, you’re more likely to reach for naturally gluten-free foods like quinoa, sweet potatoes, nuts, eggs, and lean proteins that keep you fuller longer and avoid that mid-day crash, thanks to lean proteins, healthy fats, and our favourite fibre.

And when you do want bread? Queen St. Bakery’s protein- and fibre-rich breads, bagels, and English muffins help keep you energized—not sluggish, thanks to the simple ingredients, high fibre content, and blood-sugar-friendly carbs.

4. Mental Clarity

“Brain fog” might sound like a made-up condition, but anyone who’s experienced it knows how real (and frustrating) it can be. It’s that hazy, unfocused, walking-through-molasses kind of feeling that makes work, parenting, or even Netflix-ing feel like a struggle.

Many people on a gluten-free diet report sharper focus, quicker thinking, and better memory once they’ve been gluten-free for a few weeks.

This may be because gluten sensitivity can affect neurotransmitters and contribute to inflammation in the brain. (Who knew gluten could mess with your vibe and your vocabulary?)

Clearing up your mind might be as easy as cleaning up your pantry.

5. Symptom Relief for IBS, Skin Issues & More

While not a cure-all, gluten-free eating has been linked to improvements in a wide range of symptoms, including:

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Bloating, gas, and cramping often ease up once gluten is out of the picture.
  

• Skin conditions: People with eczema, psoriasis, or acne sometimes notice clearer skin with gluten-free eating—likely thanks to reduced inflammation.
  

• Fatigue: If you're always tired (despite coffee and eight hours of sleep), gluten could be affecting nutrient absorption or triggering immune responses.
  

• Joint pain: Gluten may increase inflammation in joints, especially in those with autoimmune-related discomfort.
  

• Mood changes: Some individuals experience fewer mood swings and a more even emotional state when they eliminate gluten.
  

Basically, if you’ve ever thought, “I just don’t feel like myself lately,” trying a gluten-free diet could help you rediscover that version of you who wakes up refreshed, thinks clearly, and feels good in their body.

But Don’t Just Go Gluten-Free—Go Nutritious

Here’s the deal: gluten-free does not automatically equal healthy. A cupcake made with rice flour is still… well, a cupcake.

The key is focusing on nutritious foods—like fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, whole grains (that are naturally gluten-free), and functional products made with real ingredients.

At Queen St. Bakery, that’s exactly what we do. Our gluten-free products aren’t just about what we leave out—they’re about what we put in. Think:

• Chia seeds – A fibre-rich superfood packed with omega-3s
  

• Beans and lentils – Full of plant-based protein and nutrients
  

• Sorghum – A naturally gluten-free grain that supports gut health and adds a chewy texture
  

Our goal? To help you enjoy gluten-free foods that taste amazing, keep you full, and support your health—not just your cravings.

Because let’s face it: going gluten-free is easier (and tastier) when your bread game is strong.

Gluten-Free Food Options

You might be surprised how many delicious gluten-free food options are already hiding in plain sight in your pantry or fridge—no scavenger hunt required. From hearty whole grains to fresh produce and satisfying snacks, eating gluten-free doesn’t mean missing out. In fact, it can open up a whole new world of naturally gluten-free foods that are tasty, versatile, and seriously nourishing.

Let’s break it down by category and fill your plate with confidence.

Grains and Starches

Let’s get one thing straight: not all grains are enemies. While wheat, barley, and rye are off the menu, plenty of naturally gluten-free grains are not only safe—they’re nutritional powerhouses that bring protein, fibre, and texture to your meals.

Whole Gluten-Free Grains to Add to Your Pantry:

• Rice – The OG gluten-free grain. Whether you’re team jasmine, wild, or sticky sushi rice, it’s always a win. Try it in stir-fries, grain bowls, or turned into rice pudding for dessert (don’t knock it till you’ve tried it).
  

• Quinoa – Pronounced “keen-wah,” but we’ll forgive you if you say “kwin-oh-ah.” This complete protein packs a punch and plays well in salads, stuffings, and even breakfast bowls.
  

• Corn – It’s more than just popcorn (although we love that too). Cornmeal, polenta, and corn tortillas are all delicious ways to enjoy this staple.
  

• Millet – Light, fluffy, and totally underrated. Add it to veggie burgers, soups, or breakfast bowls.
  

• Teff – Teeny tiny grain, massive nutrient profile. It’s loaded with iron, calcium, and fibre. Bonus: it’s the star of injera, a traditional Ethiopian flatbread.
  

• Sorghum – Mild and nutty, this gluten-free grain is rich in antioxidants and fibre. We love it so much we bake it into literally everything we bake at Queen St. Bakery!
  

• Certified gluten-free oats – Regular oats can be contaminated with gluten during processing, so always go for those labeled gluten-free. Use them in everything from granola to smoothies to DIY oat flour.
  
  

Go-To Gluten-Free Flours for Baking and Cooking

If you’re brave enough to dive into gluten-free baking, hats off to you—it’s more science than art. But with the right flours, you can turn out delicious results that rival any wheat-filled treat.

• Almond flour – High in healthy fats and protein, almond flour adds richness to muffins, pancakes, and cookies.
  

• Coconut flour – Incredibly absorbent, which means a little goes a long way. Ideal for denser bakes like brownies or breakfast bars.
  

• Rice flour – Neutral and versatile, great for baking, dredging proteins, or thickening sauces.
  

• Chickpea flour – Also called besan or gram flour, this one adds a savoury, nutty taste to crepes, fritters, or veggie-packed pancakes.
  

• Sorghum flour – Soft in flavour and rich in nutrients—one of our favourites at Queen St. Bakery for good reason.
  

Hot tip: Gluten-free flours behave differently, so don’t go rogue and try to sub them 1:1 in a regular recipe. Look for gluten-free recipes specifically tailored to each flour, or better yet, pick up a reliable all-purpose gluten-free flour blend to keep things simple (we’ve got you covered here too with our 1-for-1 Superfood Baking Flour Blend, which works perfectly as a cup-for-cup swap for wheat flour in your favourite recipes).

Naturally Gluten-Free Starchy Goodness

Your body still needs carbs to function—good carbs, that is. Here are some gluten-free starches to build energy-packed meals that keep you full and satisfied:

• White and sweet potatoes – The ultimate comfort food. Bake ’em, mash ’em, roast ’em, fry ’em—just maybe skip the glutinous gravy.
  

• Tapioca – A starch extracted from cassava root, it’s perfect for thickening soups and sauces or adding chew to baked goods.
  

• Arrowroot – Another great thickener or flour substitute, especially for people with corn allergies.
  

Fun fact: Arrowroot is so gentle on the gut, it’s often used in baby food. If it’s baby-friendly, it’s belly-friendly.

Fresh Foods

You know what’s always gluten-free? Nature’s candy.

Fresh foods are the real MVPs of a gluten-free diet, and the best part is… they’re often the tastiest part, too.

Fruits and Vegetables

• Fruits – Think apples, bananas, berries, grapes, oranges, kiwis, melons... Basically, if it grows on a tree or vine and doesn’t come in a box with a cartoon character on it, it’s probably naturally gluten-free.
  

• Veggies – Leafy greens, carrots, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, beets, peppers, squash, onions—the list goes on. Add variety to your plate for extra fibre, vitamins, and flavour.

Pro tip: Roasting veggies makes you feel like a gourmet chef. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and boom—Instagram-worthy side dish.

Proteins and Dairy

• Meat, poultry, and seafood – As long as they’re un-breaded and un-marinated (unless the marinade is gluten-free), these are solid protein options.
  

• Eggs – Affordable, versatile, and naturally gluten-free. We live for a protein-packed breakfast.
  

• Dairy – Milk, cheese, yogurt, butter—all gluten-free unless someone went rogue and added unnecessary thickeners or flavourings. Check the label, especially with flavoured yogurts or processed cheese.
  
  

Snacks, Fats, and More

• Nuts and seeds – Almonds, chia, flax, sunflower, hemp—you name it. They’re packed with protein, healthy fats, and fibre. At Queen St. Bakery, we love chia seeds for their binding power and superfood status, that’s why we bake them into so many of our beads (hello, Chia Classic Loaf!)
  

• Nut butters – Peanut, almond, cashew—just make sure they don’t sneak in added sugars or gluten-y stabilizers.
  

• Avocados – Rich, creamy, and beloved by brunches everywhere. Try it mashed on a slice of our gluten-free toast or a bagel for a dream breakfast combo.

Gluten-Free Alternatives

Think a gluten-free diet means giving up toast, cookies, and pasta night? Not on our watch.

Thanks to innovation (and passionate gluten-free foodies), the market is bursting with clever swaps and seriously tasty options that rival their gluten-filled counterparts.

Bread

Gone are the days of sad, crumbly gluten-free bread. At Queen St. Bakery, we bake loaves and bagels that are soft, satisfying, and made with powerhouse ingredients like chia, beans, and sorghum—not weird starches and fillers.

Our bread doesn’t just hold up in a sandwich—it makes the sandwich. Toast it, load it, love it.

Pasta

Pasta lovers, rejoice! These gluten-free options are ready to fill your bowl:

• Brown rice pasta – Mild flavour and great texture.
  

• Quinoa pasta – Higher in protein and perfect with pesto.
  

• Lentil or chickpea pasta – A nutrition boost with every bite.
  

• Zoodles (zucchini noodles) – Great for low-carb days and people who like their pasta to crunch.
  

Add your favourite sauce, a sprinkle of cheese, and voilà—comfort food with none of the gluten regrets

Gluten-Free Pizza

Crust, sauce, cheese. The holy trinity of pizza is still alive and well, thanks to:

• Cauliflower crusts – Surprisingly tasty and lower in carbs.
  

• Pre-made frozen gluten-free pizzas – Quick dinner fix with great flavour.
  

• DIY pizza night – Use a gluten-free flour mix or almond flour crust and pile on the toppings.
  

Seriously, if loving pizza is wrong, we don’t want to be right.

Baked Goods

Cookies, cakes, gluten-free doughnuts, and muffins—oh my! Gluten-free bakeries and grocery stores now stock indulgent options that cater to every craving.

Just be sure to look for labeled gluten-free or certified gluten-free badges if you have celiac disease or non celiac gluten sensitivity—that chocolate chip cookie might be tempting, but you don’t want any gluten sneaking into your sweet tooth celebration.

Pantry Staples

Other gluten-free foods you’ll want in your rotation:

• Gluten-free cereals – From granola to puffed rice to flax flakes, there are tons of breakfast options that won’t mess with your gut.
  

• Snack bars – Perfect for grab-and-go energy. Look for simple ingredient lists with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
  

• Crackers and chips – Made from corn, rice, or seeds. Bonus if they’re paired with hummus.
  

• Tortillas and wraps – Cassava flour, brown rice, or almond flour versions give you taco night without the tummy ache.
  

Important reminder: Always check for certified gluten-free or labeled gluten-free products—especially for processed or packaged goods. That’s your assurance that the food was made safely and isn’t going to bring any unwanted surprises.

Eating Gluten-Free

So, you’ve ditched the gluten, stocked up on quinoa, and found a gluten-free bread that doesn’t taste like sadness (hello, Queen St. Bakery). But what happens when you leave your kitchen fortress and venture into the wild world of restaurants, road trips, and supermarket snack aisles?

Don’t worry—we’ve got your back (and your belly). Here’s how to keep eating gluten-free delicious and stress-free, wherever life takes you.

Eating Out Gluten-Free

Eating out on a gluten-free diet used to mean nervously scanning menus and praying the waiter knew what “gluten” actually was. (Spoiler: not a sugar-free dairy. We checked.)

Thankfully, times have changed.

Tips for gluten-free dining like a pro:

• Look for gluten-free menus: More restaurants now have gluten-free options clearly marked—or even entire menus dedicated to them. (Bless.)
  

• Call ahead: If you're unsure, give the restaurant a quick ring. A two-minute convo now saves a two-day stomach ache later.
  

• Ask about cross-contamination: Especially if you have celiac disease or non celiac gluten sensitivity. Just because something is “gluten-free” on the menu doesn’t mean it was prepped on a separate surface.
  

• Trust your gut—literally: If the staff seems unsure, or if you’re feeling uneasy about a dish, skip it. There’s always a bag of Queen St. Bakery bagels waiting for you at home.
  
  

Bonus tip: Italian restaurants are often surprisingly gluten-free friendly (shoutout to all that risotto and polenta), and many burger joints now offer gluten-free buns on request. Just ask!

Gluten-Free Products

Now, let’s talk shopping. The gluten-free foods aisle used to be a sad little shelf hidden between the vegan marshmallows and the obscure herbal teas. But today? It’s a full-on glow-up.

Here’s how to find gluten-free gold in the grocery store:

• Check for “certified gluten-free”: These products are tested and verified to contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. It’s the gold standard, especially for anyone with celiac disease. Sometimes, you can get even better than this - our gluten-free certification confirms that our products have less than 5 ppm of gluten, because we like to keep it extra safe for you.
  

• Be ingredient savvy: Wheat, barley, rye, malt, and brewer’s yeast are the usual suspects. Watch for sneaky names like “hydrolyzed wheat protein” or “modified food starch” (unless it’s from corn).
  

• Scope out allergy-friendly brands: Like Queen St. Bakery! All of our products are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility and are free from the top 10 allergens, so you don’t need a PhD in food science to read our ingredient list.
  
  

Hot tip: If you’re overwhelmed by the 37 kinds of gluten-free pasta on the shelf, just remember—start simple. Pick a few go-to products you love and build from there. Or just keep a loaf of Queen St. Bakery bread in the freezer and call it your gluten-free security blanket. Works for us.

Living a Gluten-Free Lifestyle

Being gluten-free isn’t just a diet—it’s a vibe. It’s a way of eating, thinking, shopping, and, yes, even socializing. It comes with its own learning curve, moments of trial and error (“Wait… that soy sauce had what in it?!”), and eventually, a sense of mastery that feels like leveling up in life.

But here’s the good news: living a gluten-free lifestyle can be joyful, flavourful, and empowering—especially when you’ve got a few insider tips, go-to staples (shoutout to our buns), and a positive mindset.

Let’s walk through how to make living gluten-free easy, fun, and most importantly, sustainable.

Gluten-Free Shopping

Let’s be honest: the first time you do a gluten-free grocery haul, it can feel a little like starring in a food-themed escape room. There’s label reading. Ingredient Googling. Occasionally whispering “What is xanthan gum?” to yourself in Aisle 5.

But with a bit of practice (and a solid shopping list), you'll navigate stores like a pro.

🛒 Where to Shop for Gluten-Free Goods

1. Health Food Stores
These are a gluten-free shopper’s wonderland. Think bulk bins full of ancient grains, organic sauces, and that one employee who wants to tell you all about the benefits of tigernut flour. You’ll find certified gluten-free brands, allergy-friendly snacks, and niche products galore.

2. Major Grocery Chains
Most large supermarkets now have dedicated gluten-free sections—or even entire aisles! Many also label gluten-free options throughout the store, making it easier to discover new staples without playing label detective.

3. Farmers’ Markets
Fresh produce? Gluten-free. Local honey? Gluten-free. Backyard eggs from a chicken named Linda? Also gluten-free. Farmers’ markets are perfect for naturally gluten-free foods that haven’t been processed or handled in questionable ways.

4. Online Stores & Brand Websites
When you can’t find something locally—or just prefer to shop in pajamas—online stores come in clutch. From major e-retailers to specialty sites, shopping online gives you access to a broader range of products, often with more allergen transparency. Plus, you can order directly from brands like Queen St. Bakery and stock up on our nutritious, high-fibre bread and bagels straight from the source.

✅ Smart Gluten-Free Shopping Tips

• Always read labels, even on products you trust. Recipes and manufacturing processes can change without warning

• Look for “certified gluten-free” labels if you’re managing celiac disease or non celiac gluten sensitivity. These third-party certifications mean rigorous testing and manufacturing safeguards.

• Keep a “safe snacks” list on your phone for spontaneous shopping or travel.

• Buy in bulk when possible, especially for freezer-friendly items like Queen St. Bakery’s loaves and buns. Gluten-free food isn’t always available everywhere, so it helps to have a stash.

• Shop the perimeter of the store. That’s where you’ll find most naturally gluten-free foods: produce, dairy, eggs, meats, etc.

• Don’t forget the freezer! Many of the best gluten-free products (like ours) live in the freezer aisles of the grocery store. Why? Because we don’t use artificial preservatives, so the freezer acts as our natural preservative and keeps us fresh for longer - because nothing’s worse than mouldy bread, or bread that stays “fresh” on your counter for a month (that can’t be good for you, right?)
  
  

Pro Tip: If your cart isn’t 40% snacks, 30% fresh veggies, and 30% bread that brings you joy, are you even doing gluten-free right?

Gluten-Free Cooking and Recipes

Let’s bust a myth real quick: gluten-free cooking is not just sad rice cakes and weirdly dry muffins. In fact, with the right ingredients and a little kitchen confidence, you can make gluten-free meals that are more flavourful, creative, and fun than ever before.

And no—you don’t need to be a trained chef to pull it off.

🍴 Easy Gluten-Free Swaps to Start With

• Use gluten-free flours like almond, coconut, or sorghum flour in baked goods. Just remember: they all behave a bit differently. Find recipes that are designed for these flours (you’ll thank us when your muffins don’t turn into hockey pucks). Better yet, find a reliable gluten-free flour blend (like ours), and recipes to match!
  

• Swap wheat pasta for lentil, chickpea, or brown rice noodles. They cook quickly, hold sauces beautifully, and add extra nutrients to the mix.
  

• Try zoodles or spiralized veggies for lighter pasta alternatives. Or mix half zucchini noodles and half gluten-free spaghetti for the best of both worlds.
  

• Lettuce wraps for the win! Whether it’s taco night or lunch on the go, big leafy greens make a great vehicle for protein and crunch—bonus points if you add bacon.
  

🍞 Queen St. Bakery Recipe Inspo

Our products aren’t just “bread substitutes”—they’re flavour-boosting, nutrition-packed game changers. Here are a few fun ways to bring them into your meal plan:

🍳 Tips for Gluten-Free Cooking Success

• Batch cook grains and proteins so you always have gluten-free building blocks in the fridge.
  

• Invest in a few quality gluten-free cookbooks or follow reliable blogs (like Queen St. Bakery on socials!).
  

• Label your pantry staples—especially flours—to avoid mix-ups.
  

• Don’t be afraid to experiment—your “failures” often become your next favourite recipe (or at least an excuse for a second breakfast).
  

And hey, if you end up with a too-dry cake or slightly rubbery pasta dish? That’s what sauce and humor are for. We all start somewhere.

Building a Gluten-Free Community and Resources

Let’s be real: going gluten-free can feel a little isolating at first. Suddenly you're “that person” at brunch, asking if the potatoes are cooked in the same fryer as the chicken nuggets. But here's the secret—you’re not alone.

There’s a whole gluten-free world out there, and it’s full of cool people, tasty recipes, and supportive vibes.

Gluten-Free Support Groups

Finding people who get it makes a huge difference. Whether you’re newly diagnosed with celiac disease or just trying to avoid bloating, joining a community helps.

Where to connect:

• Online forums like Reddit’s r/glutenfree or Celiac.com

• Facebook groups dedicated to gluten-free living, cooking, or specific conditions. You can even find some specific to your city so you can get restaurant recommendations for safe places you can actually visit.
  

• Local meetups and gluten-free expos (yes, those are a thing—and yes, there are snacks). These are a great place to explore new products you’ve never seen before, and basically just live in gluten-free heaven for a day. Oh, and we’re usually there too - so be sure to stop by and say hi!
  

Why join? Because people love sharing gluten-free tips, favourite products, and hard-won lessons (like how to travel gluten-free without living off trail mix). And trust us: nothing beats a great gluten-free recipe that’s been community-tested.

At Queen St. Bakery, we love being part of the gluten-free community. We’re not just here to sell bread—we’re here to make living gluten-free easier, tastier, and more joyful. That’s why we bake with clean ingredients, avoid the top 10 allergens, and shout out gluten-free wins every chance we get.

Gluten-Free Blogs and Websites

Need inspiration? Hungry for tips? Obsessed with photos of beautifully toasted gluten-free bread? (Just us?)

Here are some must-have resources:

• Your favourite gluten-free brands often have resources on their website so you can get recipe inspo, and learn more about gluten-free living (like you are right now!)
  

• Pinterest boards loaded with gluten-free options and naturally gluten-free meal prep ideas.
  

• Follow brands like Queen St. Bakery (👋 again) on Instagram, TikTok, or your platform of choice—we share recipes, product tips, and the occasional cheesy bagel pun.
  

Because when you’re living gluten-free, staying informed means staying empowered. And staying empowered means you get to live your life without feeling like your food is missing something.

Wrapping it Up

Here’s the truth: living a gluten-free lifestyle doesn’t have to be bland, complicated, or restrictive. With the right tools, a little planning, and a lot of flavour, you can enjoy food that’s just as satisfying (if not more) than before.

Let’s recap the good stuff:

• There are tons of naturally gluten-free ingredients to build your meals around—think fruits, veggies, proteins, and grains like quinoa and sorghum.
