Nonnie's Old Fashioned Roux - Gluten & Soy Free

My son is allergic to wheat, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, dairy and a couple of other top 8. So I thought gumbo would be out of the picture in our family, and I make a good gumbo, so this was kind of depressing.

Low and behold I found this gluten free, nut free roux and took a shot and ordered.

It’s great. It acts just like flour based roux, same consistency and color, and taste is dead on. My wife bakes allergy friendly so I tried to make gluten free roux using the different flour alternatives and it’s hard, don’t waste your expensive alternatives, just order this stuff.

I was so happy to find this! I wasn't sure what to expect, but it just tased like roux. My gumbo was gumbo! Yay! I didn't tell me kids -- they didn't know it wasn't what we normally serve! I'm so glad my gluten free friends and family can enjoy Gumbo this Christmas Eve! Thanks.

I used this to make a rice and gravy tonight and it made everything silky and rich. So good and much better than the alternative of making my own tricky rice four roux.

Was impressed with it. Flavor was good
