We found it pretty easy to eat throughout Israel except for the
kibbutzim. There is much less dependence on processed foods.

DD lived there for 6 months and used these cards when needed.

This company has a ton of stuff and you can either pick it up or have it
shipped to arrive at your hotel.

The people who run it are very nice and if you email them I am sure they
will advise you of actual places that are safer to eat.
We love the Bar-El hamburger buns and have had them shipped to the
US.These buns travel well and we could easily make sandwiches wherever
we went. Also you can see the various items from Osem and Bar-El that
are readily available in most stores. The Bar-el pita isn't bad either
and it does the trick when you want to make pita type sandwiches...if
nothing else pita , hummus and Israeli salad.

Be very careful of spices though MANY are mixed with wheat especially
zhatar (hyssop)

Wherever you go Bomba is available.
Bomba by Osem is the national snack and is gluten free (corn and
peanuts) It is packed with vitamins though not low cal...in a pinch my
dd lived on this.



There used to be a hamburger place (franchise) that even had gf buns..i
believe they served 1 pound hamburgers.

If I think of more I'll post it.
