Earlier this year I developed an intolerance for wheat products, which my doctor advised me could improve with time, if I gave them a complete break. As a result I have been looking for wheat alternatives. There are some great “free from” products out there, such as pasta, breads and even cakes.

I’d tried original Ryvita in the past and it’s been fine but the new Ryvita with pumpkin seeds and oats is really good. It tastes more interesting with a nutty flavour and it goes with all sorts of savoury foods, such as cheese, salads and soups.

One day recently I was attending a writing course and we were asked to bring lunch. I packed a couple of Ryvita with pumpkin seeds, buttered with a slice of cheese and wrapped them up in foil. When I came to eat them they were chewy because they had absorbed the butter, but they were still tasty.

The other good news is that they are only 45 calories a slice (obviously that’s without the butter and cheese) and they last much longer than bread. They also make a Ryvita with sunflower seeds and oats. So if you want a change from bread why not try these? The Ryvita website is http://www.ryvita.com/uk . I’d love to hear what you think.
