Gluten-Free Vegan Be Heroes

We worked with our favorite little dairy in the Midwest to create a proprietary White Aged Cheddar Cheese. This one has just the right amount of nuttiness, tang and creaminess to satisfy the most discriminating cheddar lover.

An important ingredient in cheesemaking, cultured milk is milk that's been fermented with lactic acid bacteria. The fermentation process preserves freshness while enhancing taste and improving digestibility. There is evidence that fermented milk products have been produced since around 10,000 BC.

Whey is a byproduct of cheesemaking, and is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained. It imparts a wonderful sweet dairy flavor and creamy mouthfeel.

Buttermilk is the sweet liquid squeezed from butter-making. It's high in protein and calcium, and delivers a yummy sweet dairy flavor.

Pure salt.

Making cheese would be difficult without disodium phosphate - the sodium salt derived from phosphate rock in the earth. It acts as an emulsifier that keeps fat and water from separating during the cheese-making process. This helps us get the richest and creamiest cheese possible. Disodium phosphate has been used in cheese production since 1895.

Annatto is another natural coloring, coming from the seeds of the achiote tree. It imparts a lovely orange color.

Nature is so colorful! There is NO reason to ever use artificial dyes! Paprika is extracted from the common sweet red pepper and provides a lovely red-orange color to cheese.

This ain't no standard "wheat flour"! Ours is a special flour that contains 10X more fiber than regular flour does. This particular fiber is extra special in that it is a resistant starch for prebiotic benefits like support for healthy blood sugar levels, gut health, immune health and more.

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are part of the legume family. While they have become more popular recently, chickpeas have been grown in Middle Eastern countries for thousands of years. The protein from the chickpea flour is what we use to boost nutrition!

Wheat protein is fully natural in wheat. It's isolated from the wheat grain by a simple washing process. Our wheat protein gives Goodles an extra protein kick and helps to create that springy, bouncy chew!

Shhh. Don't tell the kids. Ground up, organic spinach delivers nutrients like B2, B6, Folate, E, & Iron.

Kale is a nutrition superstar due to the many nutrients it contains including Vitamin K and Copper.

Yes, it's a fresh water algae. But don't be scared! Chlorella is packed with vitamin B-12. We only use the nutrients, so don't worry about any weird taste!

Maitake, recognized as the "king of mushrooms" in Japan, has long been used as an adaptogen to treat several ailments. Maitake is the mushroom with the highest source of vitamin D. Goodles gets Vitamin D2 from these guys.

We grab Panthotenic Acid (Vitamin B5) and Selenium from these nutritionally dense superfoods.
