Tinkyada

I made Lasagna over the weekend with this and it was AWESOME. I literally could not tell the difference relative to regular noodles. :)

Now I want to stock up on bulk quantities of all their pastas. Anyone know a good source for this - I checked the website, you cannot order from them directly, it seems.

If the rest of their pasta is this good, I will not be wanting for Italian food, no siree. My next project will be to learn to make decent fresh gluten-free bread, and then I will be in like flynn.

I love Tinkyada too, Do you have a Whole Foods near you? I saw that they had some Tinkyada pasta and they could probably special order it by the case for you if you wanted it...

I get it at my local co-op... Life Grocery, they are awesome about stocking great gluten-free goodies.

Tinkyada is the best! My non celiac family could not tell the difference when that is made. I get them at local health food stores. If they do not carry them you can request they get it in and you pick it up when your order comes in.

I don't have a source near me, so I order it from Open Original Shared Link. IF I am paying WAY too much... don't tell me!!! :o:o:o I don't want to know! Hahahaha! I love this pasta and my family is clueless that it is gluten-free ~ until told!! It is SO nice to make just one bowl of pasta instead of two. :)

I like the Tinkyada pasta too, but I made a pasta salad with it this weekend. The pasta was great, but we went camping and I had it in a cooler and then when I went to eat it after being cold it had hardened again. Has else had this happen? Strange. I cooked it quite a bit too, because i was cooking for my celiac toddler. Anyway, I had to throw it out.

Otherwise I have had good results and hope to make lasagna as soon as I am back home.

Monica,

I had that same thing happen to me when I made pasta salad. Tinkyada is the BEST for hot noodles, but cold in salad it left something to be desired. <_< Don't get me wrong, I love all of their noodles, I just don't think they are the best for cold pasta salad. The noodles get hard and chewy...

Wandering Hermit,

I buy mine from Gluten Solutions (see link above) and also from Whole Foods. They are about the same price. If you don't have a Whole Foods near you (or a place to buy them) then Gluten Solutions offers the best price. They offer a pack of Tinkyada's top 7 shaped noodles (Brown Rice Spirals, Spaghetti, Penne, Fettucini, Elbows, Fusilli, and Shells) for $19.95, and shipping isn't too expensive there...

Tinkyada also sells the Little Dreams pasta, which is shaped like little planes, trains, animals, and other toys. This is a big hit at my house with my kids, and like always has the great taste and texture of the other Tinkyada products. :D

God bless,

Mariann

I just want to add that Tinkyada IS the best gluten-free pasta out there that we know of. My 7 year old eats " noodles and sauce " at least 5 times a week. It packs well in a hot food container for his school lunch. I tried that with one of the other brands of gluten-free pastas and the stuff was absolute mush by the time he had it at lunch. Tinkyada stays perfectly well in a hot container. With all of the new gluten-free foods out there, my son finally eats a "normal" diet of TASTY foods. Other kids have no idea his foods are 'special'.

We have enjoyed the spagetthi, the lasagna noodles and the grand shells. I am awaiting an order of shells today as I didn't find them when we were last in Whole Foods. I am planning to cook the entire box, stuff them and freeze them. I used to buy stuffed shells and they were so convenient to have in the freezer. I simply bake them and use a jar of Classico for the sauce. Since I only cook for 2, we seldom use an entire recipe of anything and most days I can find something to make a quick meal from the freezer. We can supplement our shells with Carol Fenster's eggplant parmesan, Karen Robertson's foccocia and a Bard's Tale. We are not missing our Italian foods.

Do you use the cooking method of boiling two minutes and then sitting in the water?

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also...

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to...

I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?
