About Celiac Cucina
Our Story
The path…
A well-known musical artist from the 1970’s wrote a story of family recognizing him as the "pancake man." Not as an artist. Not as a celebrity. As the "pancake man." At the time of my reading, the importance of being recognized as "the pancake man" failed to resonate. Later, the path for this venture began to simply create an agreeable pancake mix for my family. A family managing a variety of food allergies, diagnoses, and food sensitivities. In search of the flavors and textures of classic family kitchen products, our family set out on a path of trial and error.
Targeting familiar taste and texture, we employed the most discerning critics, grandchildren without food restrictions
Celiac Cucina's mission statement is defined by the obstacles that are the path. The Celiac Cucina mission is to become a trusted name in providing quality, easy-to-make, products for those with dietary restrictions. Celiac Cucina products are derived from a proprietary blend of tubers, pseudo-grains, one ancient grain, and one legume.
The next obvious step became exploring products beyond the breakfast menu. A family history steeped in retail baking prompted the consideration of mixing business with pleasure. Celiac Cucina was chosen as the name for this venture to set the standard for policies and practices.
“Respecting that every household need not navigate food restrictions, Celiac Cucina aims to become a respected name among those that must.”
Celiac Cucina is driven to produce enjoyable and safe products catering to a variety of dietary challenges. Our facility is exclusively dedicated to this effort and maintaining such is the foundation for any growth opportunity.

Amaranth
Arrow root
Arrow root
From a Greek term meaning “never-fading” describing a plant retaining vibrant colors through drying. This pseudocereal was domesticated in Central and South America around 6000 B.C. One of six pseudocereals considered whole grains and treated as a cereal grain due to similar nutritional content and preparation. Amaranth is a protein powerhouse containing all nine essential amino acids and a peptide, lunasin, believed to have anti-inflammatory and cancer-preventive benefits. Amaranth is considered a low water crop, efficient at fixing carbon in high-temperature and low-moisture environments allowing it to adapt to a wide range of growing conditions.

Buckwheat
A pseudocereal diet contribution for inhabitants in the Tibetan plateau of China dating to 4000 B.C. The seed’s resemblance to that of a beech tree resulted in the Dutch assigned “boekweit,” or beech-wheat. Despite the name, buckwheat is not a type of wheat but a member of the rhubarb family. The whole grain, or groat, form has high levels of resistant starch. Buckwheat is a complete protein, containing all 9 of the essential amino acids. Regular consumption of buckwheat can aid in managing blood sugar levels and improving cardiovascular health due to its low glycemic index and cholesterol-lowering properties.

Sorghum
The earliest evidence of wild sorghum consumption is from hunter and gatherer camps in the Sahara dating to roughly 8,000 B.C. Evidence suggest the beginnings of cultivation and domestication in eastern Sudan around 4000 B.C. The starch in sorghum grain is more slowly digested as compared to the other cereals. It is because that the tannin compounds of sorghum bran slow down the hydrolysis of starch and the absorption of glucose into the blood stream. The lipids of sorghum can also lower cholesterol levels. Lower level of cholesterol reduces the risk of ⦁ stroke, chronic inflammation and type 2 diabetes.
