So, what is gluten?
Gluten is a protein found in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. It gives dough its elastic texture and helps it rise, which makes it an essential ingredient in many baked goods. However, for individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, consuming gluten can cause a range of adverse reactions, including digestive issues, headaches, and fatigue. With the rise of gluten-free diets and products, many alternatives to gluten have become available, such as almond and coconut flour. Despite the challenges it poses for some, gluten remains a vital ingredient in many culinary traditions worldwide.
