Recipes for the staple gluten free grains such buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, and millet have already been featured and summertime is the perfect time to highlight another of nature’s gluten free foods- fresh fruit.
Fresh fruit is abundant this time of year, and farmer’s markets can provide a great deal on some local, organic faire. Blueberries, blackberries, cherries, and raspberries are loaded with antioxidants and fiber, not to mention delicious. Apricots, peaches, cantaloupe, and nectarines all provide excellent amounts of vitamin A and potassium; while plums are a great source of lutein which is good for maintaining healthy vision.
Should all fruit be organic?
Choosing organic foods provide a wealth of health benefits for your family as well as helping 
the environment. Organic can sometimes be more expensive, but by taking advantage of what is currently in season often lowers the cost. Some of the sensitive or fragile fruits like berries and peaches contain the highest amount of chemicals than most other foods on the markets. The Environment Working Group (EWG), through stringent testing, ranked produce from the highest amount of chemicals to the lowest. A shopping guide can be printed from the EWG website featuring the “Dirty Dozen”, the group of foods that is best to choose organic.

当月有机不含麸质婴儿食品：夏日清凉水果之坚果冰激凌或水果泥
科林.赫利，RD，儿童营养认证专家。
菜谱中主要不含麸质谷物，例如荞麦粉、藜麦、苋菜、小米，这些都是很典型的，夏天是关注另一种不含麸质食物——新鲜水果的最佳时间。
每年的这个时间是新鲜水果最多的时候，在当地的集市上可以买到很多有机农作物。越橘、黑莓、樱桃和悬钩子含有抗氧物质和纤维素，而且口感美味。杏树、桃子、哈密瓜和油桃都可以提供大量的维生素A和钾；而李子含有丰富叶黄素，对保持健康的视力十分有益。
所有的水果都是有机的吗？购买有机的水果不仅可以给你全家带来健康的益处，而且还可以保护环境。有时候有机食物会稍贵一点，但是在旺季的时候购买常常会便宜很多。一些敏感或易脆的水果像是浆果和桃子，与市场上的其他食物相比，含有较高的化学药物含量。通过严格审查后，环境保护小组从高到低排列出是化学药物下的产物。你可以从环境保护小组的网站上打印一份购物指南，以“肮脏的一打”为依据，挑选最好的有机食物群。
夏日水果之坚果冰激凌，这份食谱是由妈妈博客的营养学家自制，并且使用最佳的新鲜水果原料，营养更加丰富。这份食谱不含麸质、不含奶制品、不含蛋制品，但是要注意你的孩子是否对坚果过敏。
1/2杯腰果
2 ½的大汤匙纯糖枫汁
2茶匙的香草
用一撮海盐水兑腰果后，使用搅拌器或者食物加工器将之研磨成细粉。加上糖枫汁、香草和盐。在搅拌器工作过程中，在间隙的时候加入少些水，直到达到了黏稠、软滑的效果。在水果上浇上一勺，瞧，做好了！
准备时间：15分钟
分量：调好4种水果酱汁
如果家里有对坚果过敏的人，怎么办呢？这份简易的水果泥除了不含麸质外还可以用别的水果代替，而且是个用完新鲜水果的美味窍门。这份水果泥可以用在麦片粥、荞麦饼、酸奶或者自家制的婴儿食物上。这份食谱源于Cynthia Lair写的《养活一家人》一书里。
2杯浆果、樱桃（去核）、李子或者梨
2—4大汤匙的水或者将切好的水果压成小块，放进一个罐子里头，放些水进去。

准备时间:20分钟
