Get healthy with gluten-free

Many people are now choosing to go gluten-free by preference, whether that be some of the time or all of the time.

Gluten is found in wheat, rye, barley and — depending on your view — oats.

For many people, gluten-rich foods give a heavy feeling in the stomach, while for others it makes them quite ill if they have an intolerance.

Aside from naturally gluten-free foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and eggs, nuts and legumes and gluten-free grains, there is now an abundance of specially made gluten-free foods available.

Extraordinary Joe is one such cafe that has a range of gluten-free cakes, slices and savoury options.

Other dietary choices that have gained momentum in recent years are vegan and vegetarian.

Many people choose to eat vegan or vegetarian for some meals once in a while, and others have a week of it as a form of detox.

Extraordinary Joe also has vegan and vegetarian options available, even with their catering menu, so you can have your Christmas party to suit all tastes.

Drop into Extraordinary Joe at 102 Taylor St, Newtown, for your coffee and dining experience or visit extraordinaryjoe.com.au to check out the in-house and catering menus.
