dry blends pair perfectly with the leading brands and quality food they carry in their stores. Sprouts is extremely selective in the brands and products they offer their customers, and it is a testament to the high-quality products
that GFCO produces that they have been selected. We look forward to eventually expanding our skus and depth of store offerings,” stated Matthew Clayton, CEO of GFCO.

Artisan Fried Chicken Mix
Perfectly blended to fry up light and crispy every time. Simply use our gluten-free Artisan Fried Chicken Mix to bread your fried items.... or use the shake and bake method. However you like it! Made with simple ingredients including chickpea flour.
