Munchie Gifts Adds Special Dietary Needs Gifts Department

Now there is a place to shop for persons with special dietary needs whether it be for friends, family, business associates or personal consumption. Prompted by the success of their hulless popcorn department, Munchie Gifts has expanded its offerings to include many products to fill special dietary needs. Sugar free product have always been offered but have been expanded and lower carbohydrate, gluten free and all natural items have been added.

(PRWEB) November 20, 2004 -- Sugar free products are offered for persons with high blood sugar or diabetes, gluten free cookies for persons with Celiac Disease as well as all natural products for those who simply want to enjoy healthy munchies.

Gluten free offerings for those with Celiac Disease include gourmet cheesecake and freshly baked cookies. Scrumptious cheesecake is also offered in a wide choice of sugar free flavors and and baked to order cookies are available in sugar free and all natural as well as gluten free. All the ingredients in the All Natural Gourmet Cookie line are Natural and/or Organic. Great care has been taken to provide the finest Natural products without the marketing hype. Ingredients are All Natural, No Preservatives" and No Hydrogenated or Partially Hydrogenated Oils.

Sugar-Free/Lower Carbohydrate Gourmet cookies offered in tins and gift baskets have the same ingredients as the All Natural Gourmet line except for the following differences:
• Sugar is replaced with Splenda (sucralose)
• Chocolate is replaced with a Maltitol chocolate product
• Agave Nectar is added in very small quantities for taste and texture

The Sugar-Free/Lower Carbohydrate Gourmet Cookies have lower carbohydrate content than an average cookie - between 50% to 75% less carbohydrates. The term low carbohydrate" is not used because there are recommendations, to the FDA, to use 9 grams, or less, per serving to achieve this classification. An attempt was made to meet this goal but they could not make a great tasting cookie with this level of carbohydrates. The carbohydrates were reduced as much as possible while still preserving a great taste. The Sugar-Free/Lower Carbohydrate Gourmet Cookies have between 7 grams and 11 grams of carbohydrates in them depending on the cookie.

Hulless popcorn has been a mainstay of the Munchie Gifts website since being added about a year ago. Many verities are offered and fully described as to texture and taste. Of special interest is the variety named Baby White Rice - A descendent of the hull-less popcorn grown at the turn of the 20th century, this white corn has a classic, mild flavor and crisp, even texture. All varieties have less hull than commercial brands, but the Baby White Rice is a miniature kernel, easy to digest and virtually hull-less. Many consumers with diverticulitis purchase the Baby White Rice and are able to enjoy the pleasure of fresh home popped popcorn regularly.

Sugar free product include fine chocolates, chocolate decorated fresh strawberries and ready to enjoy popcorn in decorative tins or plain bags. Guilt free gift baskets are also offered with a variety of healthy munchies.

Munchie Gifts also offers hundreds of gift ideas for every occasion with more traditional ingredients and many are beautifully packaged to make an impressive gift for someone special. There is a seemingly never ending assortment of gift baskets, fresh fudge, sausage and cheese gifts as well as fresh fruit in baskets, towers and boxes.
