A few weeks back, Naturally Free kindly approached me and asked if i’d like to try out their new online gluten free shop. As i do normally like seeing the items physically in a supermarket i thought i would give it a try as i’d seen a few items i find really hard to get in my normal shop and there were a few that i’d never actually heard of before!
Naturally Free state that they ‘are committed to supplying your free-from needs. We understand how important it is for our customers to receive the utmost care and dedication when it comes to shopping for their personal lifestyle choices and allergies.’ Providing for multiple allergies and food lifestyles, with an easy search is key.
The website is very easy to use – after you’ve set up your account, you can look through by allergy or/and by brand or category. I thought i would get a mixture of pantry staples and treats to see if they could cater to my regular every day shop.
I was thankful to find the wonderful Bionita gluten free gnocchi, some organic Suma chopped tomatoes and the Doves Farm gluten free baking powder will come in handy for keen bakers!
Of course i had to get a few treats, these sauces in particular have been so great for last minute meals and have mostly cured any last minute thoughts to order a takeaway. Supporting these independent businesses is also another reason why i feel ordering via a website like this is great- some of these companies can’t get into major supermarkets.
Naturally free are a new business to the gluten free online shop scene and with some of these kinds of shops it’s hard to fit in where they could become part of your routine, without fresh meat and veg on offer as well to do a complete shop however, i was very impressed with the tracking of the order and speed of delivery and customer service (one of my items was wrong but was quickly changed on request) that i feel if a company like this can deliver a quick turn around it’s worth it for those extra free from bits you may not find at your local.
