Wheat-Free, Flavor-Full

Wed., April 17, 1996

If you need proof pancakes can be healthy - and wheat-free, for people with allergies - check out the wild rice pancake and muffin mix from Sandpoint’s Simply Wild. Organically grown wild rice is lightly roasted, milled and mixed with organic oat, barley and soy flours and a non-aluminum baking powder.

And if maple syrup isn’t your style, top the cakes with wild huckleberry or elderberry syrup, or one of the preserves and jellies Simply Wild makes from elderberries, huckleberries, raspberries, rose hips, juneberries and chokecherries.

Price: Pancake mix, about $5 for 10.5 ounces; huckleberry syrup, about $7 for 10 ounces.

Available: Various specialty stores in Spokane and North Idaho, or by mail; call (208) 265-5736.
