As an alternative to preparing or purchasing gluten-free croutons made with gluten-free bread, consumers with certain health restrictions or preferences may now turn to a flavorful new option from Carrington Farms.
Carrington Farms' organic 'Crounons' are helping to reinvent the gluten-free crouton category with a product made from puffed quinoa. These crunchy, versatile toppings can be used on everything from soups to salads and are offered by the brand in four flavors: Garden Herb, Butter & Roasted Garlic, Cracked Pepper & Sea Salt and Garlic & Parmesan. These free-from crouton substitutes made from quinoa boast clean labels, as each of the varieties contains less than seven ingredients.
