Going Gluten-Free in Oregon? Market of Choice Makes It Delicious.

If you’re newly gluten-free, welcome to the club—membership includes great snacks, excellent pancakes, and the occasional moment of staring at a menu like it’s written in ancient runes. Don’t worry. You’re not alone, and you definitely don’t have to give up delicious food. In fact, thanks to Oregon’s vibrant community of gluten-free makers (many of which you’ll find right here at Market of Choice), going gluten-free has never tasted better.

This is your friendly guide to thriving—not just surviving—on a gluten-free diet.

What Does “Gluten-Free” Actually Mean?

A gluten-free diet simply avoids wheat, barley, and rye. That’s it. No doom, no gloom, and absolutely no giving up the joy of eating. With today’s incredible gluten-free products—especially from local Oregon makers—you can still enjoy all your favorite foods, just in versions that love you back.

At Market of Choice, our shelves are designed to make gluten-free shopping simple, flavorful, and fun.
