When it comes to enjoying the tangy and sweet flavors of orange marmalade, you might be wondering: ‘Is orange marmalade gluten-free?'

The answer is a resounding yes! Marmalade, including orange marmalade, is naturally gluten-free, primarily due to its simple ingredients – citrus fruit and processed sugar (or, in our case, stevia).

And there's no better product for you than GOOD GOOD's 99% sugar free orange marmalade. Not only does it cater to those seeking a gluten-free option, but it also caters to those looking for a healthier, low-sugar alternative.

In this blog post, we'll delve into the specifics of why marmalade is gluten-free and how GOOD GOOD's version of the classic gluten free jelly marmalade recipe fits into every healthy lifestyle.

Let's get started!

Is Marmalade Gluten-Free?

Marmalade is inherently gluten-free because it's traditionally made from citrus fruits, particularly Seville oranges, and processed sugar.

What Goes Into Marmalade?

Let's look at what else marmalade is made of, particularly GOOD GOOD's version, that gives it a thumb of approval from people on a gluten-free diet.

Drawing from our jam-making experience at GOOD GOOD, the process of making marmalade involves using only the juice and rind of the oranges, which are simmered until they coagulate into a thick fruit paste.

The thickening agent in our orange marmalade is pectin, a natural gelling agent found in fruit, and it doesn't contain a gluten ingredient like flour or cornstarch. This makes our marmalade a safe choice for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

It's important to note, however, that while the basic ingredients of marmalade are gluten-free, cross-contamination can occur during manufacturing. For instance, this occasionally happens when jam-makers put additives that contain traces of gluten into their jams.

Luckily, this doesn't happen with GOOD GOOD's 99% sugar free orange marmalade. None of the ingredients we use contain gluten, so there's no chance of cross-contamination with our orange marmalade.

What Is a Gluten Free Diet?

A gluten-free diet excludes gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and triticale. Based on our first-hand experience, this diet is essential for people with celiac disease, a condition where gluten triggers immune system activity that damages the lining of the small intestine.

Moreover, some people choose a gluten-free diet to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating and fatigue. This is especially helpful when incorporating GOOD GOOD's 99% sugar-free jelly into your lifestyle.

Your diet no longer needs to be a bland affair, with options like our blackcurrant jam, or a gluten free grape jelly like our sugar free grape jelly to sweeten the gluten-free deal.

How Orange Marmalade Jazzes Up A Gluten-Free Diet

Incorporating orange marmalade, particularly GOOD GOOD's 99% sugar free orange marmalade, into a gluten-free diet can add a delightful twist to various dishes.

Orange marmalade, with its vibrant color, enticing aroma, and fabulous taste, can transform even the simplest gluten-free snacks and meals into gourmet delights.

For instance, spreading our orange marmalade on gluten-free toast, scones, or muffins can elevate your breakfast experience.

Additionally, our marmalade can be a secret ingredient in your gluten-free baking. We have found from using this product that adding it to muffin batter or using it as a layer in gluten-free cakes can introduce a unique flavor profile.

This is because the natural pectins in the orange rind help the marmalade firm up during the jam-making process, making it an excellent ingredient for baking.

With GOOD GOOD's orange marmalade, you can kill two birds with one stone and enjoy these treats without worrying about gluten or excessive sugar intake.
