Using Your Noodle

It makes my day when I learn about a first-to-market gluten-free product. I experienced that  last week when I found out about Feel Good Foods' line of gluten-free handmade Asian dumplings, which come in four varieties: vegetable, chicken, pork and shrimp. The dumplings (eight per box) contain all-natural ingredients with no MSG, artificial flavors, preservatives or additives, and are accompanied by a wheat-free tamari dipping sauce.

The husband-and-wife owners of Friedman's Lunch, located at New York City's Chelsea Market, are the brains behind Feel Good Foods. (We ate at Friedman's during a visit last year to the Big Apple.) If you live in or are visiting Manhattan, the dumplings are now available for purchase at the restaurant (75 9th Avenue, 212-929-7100) and at natural foods stores in the city. Look for them soon at markets in the Delaware Valley and online at the Gluten-Free Mall.

Thanks to Gwinnett (Ga.) Gluten-Free Examiner Jennifer for the tip.
