Choose gluten-free grains
Popular grains that contain gluten include wheat, barley, and rye. There are many gluten-free grain options available, though. Grain varieties free of gluten include:
- Quinoa
- Brown rice
- Millet
- Amaranth
- Buckwheat
- Oats
- ...
Contrary to its name, buckwheat is a grain-like seed that is naturally gluten-free and unrelated to wheat. You may use buckwheat in recipes for gluten-free baked goods or as a cereal. Or quinoa is one of the most popular gluten-free grains nowadays. It is very versatile and a great source of fiber and plant-based protein. Oat is another great option naturally gluten-free. However, oat processing can expose them to gluten, so choose oats with a certified gluten-free label if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
