A growing number of people are said to be converting to special diets for health reasons. This article is written for those who wish to make their food trucks more accommodating to people with celiac disease and want to learn more about running a mobile catering business with gluten-free food.
How to prepare gluten-free food?
When opting to run a gluten-free food truck, it's important to focus exclusively on this type of cooking. We need to remember that our truck is quite constrained in terms of space and if we want to serve food to people who are allergic to a specific ingredient, we must set aside an area specifically for that purpose, because even small amounts of gluten can trigger severe reactions in those who can't consume it. Food selection is also crucial. The icon of a crossed-out wheat ear serves as a safety guarantee, indicating that the product is gluten-free and was prepared in conditions that meet all industry standards.
Gluten-free cooking in a mobile kitchen
Meat is the foundation of many dishes, and while it does not contain gluten, using it can be very tricky. When buying minced meat, for example, keep in mind that it cannot contain any other additional ingredients; the same goes for ham used in pizza. When it comes to marinades, it's better to make them from scratch. Only buy from reputable sources and remember to read the labels! Is there anything else we can utilize in our gluten-free cooking? We can safely use potatoes, rice, beans, nuts, or fish, for example, but only in their ‘pure’ form, with no superfluous additives.
Time for dessert
If, on the other hand, you want to serve desserts, are you worried that they will lose their delicious taste when made gluten-free? No worries about serving excellent ice cream. It is critical, however, that the primary ingredient is fruit, which can be combined with gluten-free plant-based drinks such as millet milk. Of course, you can serve wonderful pastries without issue, but there are a few guidelines to follow: the most important rule is that you cannot use wheat flour, but you may easily replace it with other alternatives, such as coconut flour.
A gluten-free food truck would be a terrific way to stand out at different street food events. This type of diet is becoming increasingly popular, especially among people who just wish to convert to a better lifestyle, which will surely make us gain popularity.
