Is it hard to find 1: Gluten free 2: Wheat free & 3: Vegan chocolate?!
Thanks.
Answers: I want a general idea of how hard it is to find chocolate that falls into either one or more of these categories?
Thanks.
I didnt know they could make vegan chocolate since real chocolate is made with milk, I thought even 70% cocoa had milk in it. But Im not chocolate expert!. I would assume you mean a soy chocolate then? try places like Whole Foods and u may find more high end chocolates. Good luck on that!
For future reference, Gluten free always means wheat free but wheat free does not always mean gluten free.
None of them are. Just go to your local health shop/supermarket, and they will have them all together in a special section.
Asda sell these things. They have a gluton free fixture, in each department, with everything on. The same for organics.
Asda will give you a list of products you can buy there - they keep one for each of the major intolerances - ask at the customer service counter. I expect the other major retailers will do the same, but I haven't asked them.
Vegan chocolate is harder to find, but not impossible, thanks to the web: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=v...
Most of the branded gluten-free and wheat-free products in main supermarkets are put together on one shelf, but the list is useful because other (usually cheaper) products also fit the bill.
Here's some advice from Sainsbury's:
All products in the following groupings are suitable for those avoiding gluten in their diet so a specific product list is not provided for these groups:
All cider
All white wine
All rose wine
All red wine
All sparkling wine
All fortified wine
All plain fish, shellfish and smoked fish (counter, pre-packed or frozen) without batter, crumbs, marinade or sauce
All plain meat, poultry, bacon, gammon, game (counter, pre-packed or frozen) without batter, crumbs, marinade, stuffing or sauce
All shell-on eggs
All cheese without additional ingredients
All butter, margarine and spreads
All plain, unflavoured milk (fresh or UHT)
All plain, unflavoured, cream and crème fraiche
All plain, unflavoured, yogurts and fromage frais
All pure fruit juice (chilled or UHT)
All canned beans in water or brine
All canned fish in oil, brine or water
All canned fruit in fruit juice or syrup
All plain canned tomatoes
All plain packet tea (bags or leaf)
All plain coffee (instant, beans or ground)
All plain rice
All honey, jam and marmalade
All single herbs and spices
All plain fresh or frozen fruit
All plain vegetables (fresh, canned or frozen), including salad vegetables and fresh herbs without batter, crumbs, marinade, stuffing or sauce
All plain water (still or sparkling)
Thorntons sell nut free and vegetarian chocolate, dont know about the rest
No it's easy. All chocolate is wheat and gluten free. Go to a health food store for vegan.
Sainsbury's own "Free From" range have this.
Also, try Green and Blacks if you want somethng with taste
Tesco, Asda and Morrisons all have sections for special dietary needs.
Good health stores and Boots do too!
Any good quality chocolate should be wheat free, gluten free and vegan. Obviously, it can't be milk chocolate, though! But (check the label as I haven't got a bar to hand) something like Green and Black's would probably be just what you want.
One word: callebaut chocolate (dark and semisweet).
Whole Foods Dark Chocolate Truffles aren't bad either.
