Chebe Mixes

On a recent post someone mentioned Chebe rolls. I have looked at their web site and am interested in trying their products But I need the mix ASAP. No one local to me carries them so I will have to drive a distance. Are the products worth the drive?

I think it is worth it. Everyone else that's tried it at our Celiac group (typically over 100 people at each meeting) and the guys at my office like it. But, I know one person that says she hates the taste of tapioca flour and therefore, didn't like Chebe.

I know I've mentioned this before but the worst thing I hear about Chebe is that it was gummy. Usually, gluten-free breads have rice flour in them and the challenge is to keep them moist. So you pop it in plastic wrap ASAP. Chebe has to breathe and lose the moisture. So you need to wrap it in a coton tea towel and let it sit in a basket or colander for 12-24 hours. After that, you can put it in a ziploc and leave it on the counter a couple more days before it starts going stale.

Our favorite variation is with parmesan and adding the baking powder. But I've used cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella and even discovered once when I forgot to add cheese that it's good without it even.

Have you used any of the frozen products?

I haven't. Because I have limited freezer space, I use the dry mix. But I know people in my local Celiac group that have bought the frozen products and they love it.

I did try something in the freezer case of the international section at Kroger called "pan de yucca" that was made with tapioca and cheese and it was really good. A brown and serve roll kind of thing.

I noticed that pan de yucca didn't taste cheesy like the chebe rolls I make but that's probably the type of cheese they use. I use parmesan which is strongly flavored. A softer cheese like a ricotta or a queso fresca might not have a cheese taste at all. I know fat free cream cheese produces a white bread type of roll (the xantham gum in the fat-free version helps the texture of the roll).

I LOVE them!!!! You can order them online too! But they are worth the drive. I drive an hour for my gluten-free specialty stuff!

I use them for hamburger buns. You add anywhere from 1-3 tsp of baking powder to the mix. and then divide the dough into four and bake. YUM!!!!!

So worth it.

I personally can't stand the Chebe stuff. I've never tried the frozen ones.

You found pan de yucca!!!!???!! I had it in Colombia when I was a foreign exchange student in the '70's and I loved it and I hadn't had it since then--it's a staple there--yucca is. I had it boiled, fried, mashed, but my fave was yucca bread (pan de yucca). I'm def going to look for it at Krogers. Thanks!

Oh, BTW, I love Chebe mixes. Yum-O!

I hope your Kroger's carries it. None of the ones on our side of town do and I pick it up on the other side of town (about an hour away). First time I fixed it surprised me because the frozen bread is the size of a biscuit, maybe 2 inches across. It baked up to the size of a burger bun! I found it in the freezer section that carries frozen Mexican food (food actually from Mexico) and other international items.

      So? What do you think it will go ahead? Did you partecipate to this trial? what's the result for yuo? Thanks a lot for your answers!

      You might look into wearing an N95 mask when others are creating baked goods with wheat flour in your environment.

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?
