Taste Testing of Glutino Products

Nothing Like Having Different Kinds of Consumers at Your Fingertips.

On March 27th I had received this amazing box of gluten free products from Glutino. But, let me back up a little. About two weeks prior to  me receiving the box of goodies from  Glutino, I had tweeted at them asking if they had any ideas of things I could blog about. With in a few short days, I had a tweet conversation with their company representative and we came to a deal. At this point I was jumping out of my skin with excitement. But, the most exciting part was when I received the big box of Glutino products. This was the most exciting part because the box was so big and it  actually had the full size products in it. 

On that same day I decided it was time to have a select few of people I knew taste test the products. They were as follows;
Participant 1: Mid 70's male, who loves chocolate, not open to new products and not gluten free
Participant 2: Late 70's  women who, loves crackers, is open to new products, and is gluten free
Participant 3: Mid 40's  women who, loves chocolate,  is open to new products more and more each day and lives with 3 gluten free consumers.
Participant 4: Early 20's  women who, prefers vanilla products, ready to try anything new that is gluten free and is gluten free.

Summary:

All four participants said with confidence that they could not tell most of the foods were gluten free. With that none of these foods were spat out or said they would never eat the food products again. So, with that I have to commend Glutino on their great ability to meet a wide array of consumers. Especially Glutino's ability to reach the consumers that still eat gluten. Thank you for this great opportunity Glutino.
