Key Takeaways:

 

Mainstream cake mixes are harmful: Enriched bleached flour and GMO-sprayed wheat can negatively impact gut health and increase inflammation.

 

Tiger nut flour is a game-changer: It’s nutrient-dense, high in fiber, and feeds good gut bacteria.

 

Eat Gangster’s product lineup: From brownies and cookies to pizza crusts and frosting, their mixes are clean, delicious, and versatile.

 

Understanding nightshades: Learn what they are, who should avoid them, and how they might contribute to inflammation.

 

The importance of fiber: Fiber supports digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and promotes fullness—making it a vital component in baking.

 

Beyond AIP compliance: Eat G.A.N.G.S.T.E.R.’s mission is to make clean, real food accessible to everyone, not just those on restrictive diets.

 

The frosting revolution: Their cane-sugar-free frosting mix is changing the game for clean indulgence.
