What it is
Gluten is a group of proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. It acts like a binder, holding food together and giving it a chewy texture. When mixed with water, gluten forms an elastic network that is essential for baking.
Why it's used
Gluten is primarily used in baking to provide structure and elasticity to doughs and batters. It is a key component in bread, pasta, cakes, and many other baked goods, contributing to their texture and volume.
Health notes
For most people, gluten is a safe and common food ingredient. However, individuals with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergy must avoid gluten. The FDA requires foods containing wheat to be labeled as such. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated gluten and its sources.
Allergen info
Gluten is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. While not a major allergen itself, gluten is a significant concern for individuals with specific sensitivities or allergies.
