HOW TO Find Gluten-Free Ingredient Alternatives



Gluten is a protein composite found in wheat, rye, barley and related grains or mixtures. Whether or not you may have a gluten intolerance or suffer from celiac disease, many people have found they feel better when following a gluten-free diet. Many ingredients are naturally gluten-free, such as corn, rice, quinoa, potatoes, vegetables, fruit, nuts, milk, eggs, meat, fish, poultry, legumes, fats and oils. However, there are many grain-related ingredients which contain gluten and should avoid, such as pasta, breads, cereals, and yes—beer! But don’t worry! You will discover a variety of gluten-free alternatives that you can use to easily replace ingredients that contain gluten.
