Are Oats Gluten Free?

DateThursday, February 10, 2011 at 11:30PM AuthorElisabeth Veltman, The Tender Foodie tagged , Print ArticlePrint Article in ,
ARE OATS GLUTEN-FREE? It depends. Oats do not naturally contain gluten. However, they contain a protein called "avenin" to which many folks (especially those with Celiac disease) are sensitive. Oats can be dusted with wheat flour at the factory. And can also be contaminated on the farm.  Wheat & oats often are planted in rotation on the same land, causing cross-contact.  If you are able to have oats, get the gluten-free kind.  But introduce oats carefully and mindfully if you have a gluten allergy.
Bob's Red MIll has a great blog post about this.  Read on!
