Is Gluten Free Dieting a Trend?
Sweet Pete's offers only All Natural sweets. We are proud to have a gluten free kitchen. We focus on creating sweets that taste as good if not better than the artificial sweets. Because of the taste of our treats we have a lot of cross over customers that are shopping on taste and are not concerned about all natural, vegan or gluten free products.
Many of these customers ask us why gluten free is such a big deal now. Is it a trend? We recently came across a great article that helps explain why gluten intolerance is more prevalent than it once was.
Enjoy the article and video. We hope it sheds some light on gluten free diets.

About Me
- Peter Behringer
- I have worked in the confectionary industry since the age of 14 when my mother founded Peterbrooke Chocolatier. She named the business after my sister Brooke and me. I have long had a passion for making confections. Over the last year, I have enjoyed creating a wide variety of hard candies at home. These included pulled sugar candy canes and cast sugar lollipops. In addition to the hard candies, I also experimented with marshmallow, and jellies. When I purchased marshmallow, lollipops, and other candy, I noticed that they were filled with artificial flavors and colors. Many confections contained high fructose corn syrup and other unnatural ingredients. Increasingly, candy was manufactured in Mexico or China. I believed that consumers deserved better. I believed that consumers deserved pure, simple, sweets made the traditional way with real cane sugar while using natural flavors and colors. It became clear to me that there would be a need for my sweet services! A good friend and now business partner approached me about a neat old house in Springfield –a quaint up and coming Jacksonville neighborhood. Everything just clicked and Sweet Pete’s was born!
