Imagine Foods Offers Gluten-free Gravy

Even though the holidays (related to meals that call for gravy) are not coming around again for another eight months, this news is just too good to not share now. Gluten-free gravy in a box was not something I ever thought I’d see on a store shelf. One thing I can say about the gluten-free lifestyle is that there is always something new around every corner. It might sound silly, but it’s kind of like getting a gift when something you’ve wanted to find a gluten-free version of becomes a reality.  Even though these products are not brand new, I had never seen them in a store (or knew they existed) until last week. Personally, I don’t even care for gravy of any kind, but it’s nice to know that the Imagine Foods gravies are now available in our area, since a lot of people need gluten-free gravy.

While browsing my favorite health food store recently, I noticed a very short box of Imagine soup. At least I assumed it was soup until I read the label and noticed that it was actually gravy. Both the Roasted Turkey and Savory Beef gravy boxes were clearly labeled gluten-free. How smart a product creation is that?! Now people can just take a box of gravy to holiday dinners or parties where turkey is served. Assuming the meat is gluten-free, one can just pour the gravy over the meat and not have to worry about making gravy for one. It’s great that many people love making their own gravy, but many people do not love it. They don’t want to worry about making gravy at all. Having a product like gravy in a box makes their lives easier in what can be a very stressful time of year.

In families where many people have celiac, the $.99 price for the Imagine gravy might not be cost effective, but for one person it’s definitely a bargain. Making good gluten-free gravy is something a lot of people struggle with. Since I never ate gravy when I ate gluten, this has never been a problem at our house. For some reason my husband was never into gravy either. Gravy is big in the South, though the most famous type is white pork gravy. I’m not sure if I like that type because I never got up the courage to try it. The look and smell of it is not even slightly appealing to me so I was never tempted to taste it.

When I started my gluten-free journey several years ago, there were several things I had to search for gluten-free versions of, but gravy wasn’t one of them. However, each year in early November, people new to gluten-free living start frantic internet searches to locate a recipe or product to make gluten-free gravy with. How wonderful it is that so many companies are making gluten-free versions of everything under the sun these days. Between Butterball reformulating their gravy packets to be gluten-free (now made with rice flour and gluten-free ingredients), and the ready-made gravies from Imagine Foods, gravy lovers will have no problems finding gravy when the holiday season rolls around again!
