Jeni’s Right Bee Cider Sorbet Review
July 6, 2017
[no_toc]As we have delved deeper into the cider culture in the United States, we have identified that a decent chunk, maybe a quarter, of cidermakers or cider fans are gluten-free. Cider makes its best pass at this marketing with its mostly gluten-free, 100% delicious products. The depth of flavor and variety of cider goodness makes the gluten-free folks water at the mouth.
We, at CiderScene, has really started to understand the struggles for the gluten intolerant, and we wanted to put together a list of apps that will help you navigate the world to find the options that are necessary when looking for groceries, restaurants, and much more.
Here is our top 5 list of Gluten-free Apps:

Cooking Planit
You are gluten intolerant and you don’t know how to cook. Just wonderful. Sure, you can hit up restaurant after restaurant, but you have to cook at some point! Cooking Planit is an app that walks you through the steps of cooking, from prep to plate. This app allows you to bring a grocery list to the store, buy your products, bring them to the table, and prepare the food. With step-by-step direction and timers to let you know when to start, let’s say, step three while step two is finishing, you won’t miss a beat in the kitchen. And let’s also say you did buy groceries already and want to see what you could do with basil, or anything else as an example, you can use the search function and build a recipe around it. It is that easy!
