For a new arrival in Jeddah, it is a bit of a challenge to find gluten free sources whilst traveling.
Over a period of 4 years, I have put together some sources that can help you find the specific
gluten-free resources you need in Jeddah, which I am happy to share. There will be 2 follow up
articles in the following months about ‘Gluten-free restaurants in Jeddah’ and ‘Gluten-alternatives in Jeddah’. Here are the gluten-free resources in Jeddah:
- Danube, Serafi Mall: has gluten-free flour, plain flour, coconut flour, corn tortilla,
sunflower seed bread. - Lulu: has quinoa, gluten-free spiral pasta, rice noodles and rice paper for rolls.
- Star market: has Mung bean noodles and tofu.

Garden market in al Zahra) may sell the following:- Sweet potato starch noodle 红薯粉丝

different flat breads made of herbs, corn, soybeans, millet crackers. - Nahdi Pharmacy: Sometimes sells gluten-free products.
Note:
- I would like to acknowledge some of the contributions made by some of the women
from WhatsApp group “Real Food”, Jeddah. - Tip: If you see something unusual or unique in a shopping center – like gluten-free stuff,
you might want to stock up, as they may not be available on your next visit. - Please do your own research about what kinds of foods are gluten-free.
