So if you haven’t gotten on the Aldi train yet, you need to. Also, if you pronounce “Adli” like “Aldis”, you need to not. I have compiled a list of quality favorites and staples that we always pile into our 25 cent cart, so here you go! (And I’ll try to walk you through it as if you were walking through the isles but if you’re an avid Aldi go-er, you know that’s never easy.)
All natural peanut butter. Ingredients: peanuts and sea salt. This is huge! Many well known peanut butter products add in ingredients like sugar, oils, and other additives that are completely unnecessary. Also, fun fact for you fellow potato intolerance homies: if a label lists “salt” as an ingredient, it contains potato. Bonkers I know, which is why I always make sure it’s sea salt!
Sprouted 7-grain bread. So why “sprouted” instead of your typical whole-grain wheat? The process of sprouting neutralizes the anti-nutrients that grains contain. These anti-nutrients bind to various vitamins and minerals in our intestinal tract which prevents their absorption and they also act as enzyme inhibitors, making it very hard to digest starches and proteins. This puts a ton of pressure on our pancreas and overall GI tract, which can lead to chronic diseases after continual exposure. All in all, the sprouting technique has been around for hundreds of years and is a win-win for our gut!
