REVIEW:
With Thanksgiving just two days away, what would be more fitting than reviewing food associated with Thanksgiving? So when we came across this gluten free stuffing, we were excited. Stuffing is usually made with bread, which in turn would make it off limits to people with gluten intolerances or celiac. So what’s there for them to eat? Four Sisters and a Brother have the gluten free answer with their Gluten Free Herbed Stuffing. It is made using rice flour and garbanzo bean flour and it is seasoned with different herb seasonings.
Open up the package and you see dried ingredients that slightly resemble the look of granola clusters. Breathe in the smell of the flavoring and you will find a very familiar scent that will bring you back to the good ole days when you were a starving college student. You guessed it…it smells like the flavoring powder for instant ramen. This scared me a little because I thought about why I stopped eating those things and I remembered it was because of all the sodium in those things. But rest assured because I checked this package and found only 3.5mg of sodium per serving. Multiplying that by the 10 servings in the package, you get a very reasonable 35mg of sodium for the entire package.
Taste: This stuffing has a lot of flavor, maybe a little too much flavor. We found it to be a tad salty but we ate it alone and if it was accompanying another dish, it would probably be perfect. Texture wise, it was good, but a little gummy. This is probably because of the ingredients. Typically stuffing is made with cubes of bread or bread crumbs, but this stuffing is made with clusters made of garbanzo beans flour and rice flour making it a chewier than traditional stuffing. In the end, it’s not your typical stuffing, but it’s definitely a good alternative.
Labeling: The labeling is very simple. On the front it boasts a long list of healthy reason why you should use this stuffing. Gluten Free, no trans fat, no dairy or yeast, no GMO or MSG, no hydrogenated oils, no artificial colors or flavoring…it’s all there. Out back is of course the family story of how this product got its start in grandma’s kitchen. It probably isn’t exactly how grandma made it, but it’s probably close.
Packaging: Non recyclable plastic packaging.
Inspired by grandma’s cooking, Four Sisters and a Brother did a good job offering an alternative for those of us who can no longer have gluten in their diets. Bottom line, a little on the salty side and the texture isn’t exactly what I had in mind, but it’s a darn close to the real thing.
