You will find Rainbow Earth Foods at the Delaware Beaches…In the town of Rehoboth Beach…
Rehoboth Beach
It has been a year since my husband started eating gluten/wheat free. It has made such a difference. When they tell you that the only thing you can do when diagnosed with celiac disease is diet, then you plunge into a new way of eating.
I thought it was going to be hard but, actually, once I cleaned my kitchen and my pantry; turned it into a “gluten free kitchen” it was not bad at all. You get used to it; you have to.
There is so much more awareness in this country about gluten allergies and intolerances. People have so many choices. Grocery stores have isles with plenty of gluten free products. Product labels have to disclose glutens. Restaurants are offering gluten free menus, and the list goes on. I have tried different products and some I like better than others.
The grocery stores in Rehoboth Beach have a lot of products available. But, one of my favorite stores is Rainbow Earth Foods. It is located right on the Avenue specifically at 220 Rehoboth Ave., Tel. 302-227-3177 , fax #302-227-7215, website is www.RainbowEFoods.com, and e-mail address is RainbowEFoods@aol.com.
I love this store. It is not big but they have everything I need. And, if you cannot find it, either Mike or Diana will order it.
For many years it was known as Peter Rabbit but Mike has had it for 7 years.
When you come into the store you will find on either side of the store refrigerators with natural juices, milk, and grab and go prepared foods like dips and cheeses.
There is one section with pure spices that are sold by weight. They smell so good.
The store also carries soaps, beauty products, shampoos, toothpaste; all natural with no additives.
How about essential and botanical oils? I did not know there was a difference. Essential oils are single oils like lavender. The botanical oils are a mixture of teas and spices.
They even have greeting cards that are “tree free” meaning they are made of earth friendly materials.
If you are using herbal and vitamin supplements, well stop by the store. They have way too many for me to list on this post.
Since the holidays are soon approaching, they will have gluten free – Eberly’s organic turkeys. They also carry 100% organic fed beef, free range young chicken breasts, and organic uncured bacon by Applegate Farms; no nitrites added.
My favorite products there are the following items and I really buy them all the time:
Organic Buckwheat flour – gluten free- for pancakes (delicious with molasses on top)
Organic Gluten Free pancake and baking mix
Namaste Foods Products like, Spice Cake, and cookie mix
European – gluten free crispbread and crackers
All products from the Grainless Baker, Inc. like muffins, cinnamon buns, pizza and bread. These products are frozen and use as needed. The pizza is amazing. It is small but is the closest to the real thing. I add chopped onion, sundried tomatoes, peppers, anchovies and Voila!! Include a salad and you have a meal. Truly love those products.
Nustevia – sugar substitute. I first saw it in Colorado. No bitter taste, safe for diabetics and naturally processed.
I buy their gluten free vanilla. Yes, you have to be careful about vanilla too.
Soy sauce? Yes, I buy the Tamari, wheat free. I just saw one that also has low sodium. I might have to have Mike order that one for me soon.
One thing I have to tell you is that one day I was at their counter paying and I noticed some bottles on the left hand side. It was called The Natural Miracle Conditioner by Tate’s. There are so many uses for this lotion. It is for hair conditioning, skin, bath and shower, make-up remover, poison ivy, diaper rash and the list keeps going on and on. I bought it and it is true; it does all those things. I really like it. No animal testing, colors or dyes, fragrances or pesticides. And, gluten free. The company is from Ohio and their website is www.ourtatefamily.com. Check it out.
Since starting this blog, I have learned so many interesting things….
