Review: Orgran Gluten Free Gravy Mix
Being a true Southern girl, the thing I’ve missed most out in this whole GF adventure was gravy. Williams Brown Gravy for my family, baby. Not now, of course.
When I saw this gravy mix at the health food store, I was happy. I was so, so happy!!
We had it today with meatloaf, rice and mashed potatoes. I know, I know, don’t lecture me on the lack of veggies. I spent the day helping a friend destroy his bathroom and I was forced to throw dinner together quickly.
Anyway, I used the gravy mix tonight. It came out brown and looked curiously gravy-looking. It tasted and smelled like plastic. Kinda like a sneaker, melted on my stovetop. OMG IT WAS BAD.
I am tossing the rest of this package, which is something I can barely stand to do with GF foods. You might recall my review for Bob’s “Wonderful” Bread. This goes in the same reject bag. ‘cept I’ve not yet had a good experience with Orgran, so I am unsure as to what kind of relationship I will have with this brand in to the future.
The package has a huge list of things it is free of: 98% fat free, gluten free, wheat free, dairy free, egg free, yeast free, GMO free, soy free, nut free, meat free (vegan)… but it forgets to mention how it’s also flavor-free.
