Gluten-Free List of Ingredients

[**Jubes**]

It was suggested that we maintain a list of gluten-free ingredients for easy reference both for gluten-free/wheat-free chefs and for those wishing to check if their recipes could be posted in the gluten-free dietary category.

I thought it would be better to focus on foods that are gluten-free and not include brand names. There are so many different brands for each country/state depending on what is available in your area.

Many foods are naturally gluten-free, such as
-all fruits, vegetables, herbs
-all poultry, meats, seafood, crustaceans, game meats
-unflavoured tofu
-cows and goats milk
-nuts, beans, seeds, and pulses

The following list will be a work in progress. Please feel free to post a reply thread to add any amendments, suggestions or comments. I'll keep the list updated

All of the items on this list would not include flour, crumbs,
batters, flavourings, marinades, bastes, rubs etc

1) Cellulose is a carbohydrate polymer of D-glucose. It is the structural material of plants, such as wood in trees. It contains no gluten protein.
2) Methyl cellulose is a chemically modified form of cellulose that makes a good substitute for gluten in rice-based breads, etc.
3) Recent research indicates that oats may be safe for people on gluten-free diets, although many people may also have an additional, unrelated intolerance to them. Cross contamination with wheat is also a factor that you need to consider before choosing to include oats in your diet
