I’m not too worried about this. After all, who cares about the gluten in flour? I use all organic, free-range, non-GMO flour. This means I don’t have to worry about cross contamination or the gluten in my own flour coming in contact with other foods.
I would say in the early days of gluten free flour, it would have been a good idea to have tested and tried with your own homemade flour before using it, but I have to admit that this is one of those cases where it is probably worth the risk. If the wheat, flour, or other food that you are using comes in contact with another food, it can lead to an allergic reaction.
In the case of gluten free flour, it would be very unlikely to encounter any cross contamination with an allergic reaction, but it is something to be aware of.
In the case of gluten free flour, it would be very unlikely to encounter any cross contamination with an allergic reaction, but it is something to be aware of. If you are trying to avoid cross contamination with gluten-free flour, it’s best to buy it in bulk, or make your own. The more you use it, the more likely it is to find its way into your diet.
Most of the people we’ve talked to who have tried flour with gluten-free are not allergic to gluten, but with the recent news on Celiac Disease, it is probably not the best idea to be eating all of that gluten. Many of the same reasons that you would avoid gluten are the same reasons that you would avoid corn and soy, too. If you’re allergic to wheat and gluten, gluten free flour can be a way to make up for it.
One of the first things we do at Gluten Free Baker is test our own gluten-free flour. We also test other brands out in our local grocery store. Sometimes there are brands that contain gluten, but it is almost impossible to find out if they are also gluten free. To be safe, we recommend buying a few different brands of flour, and not just just one brand.
While we highly recommend checking out a few different brands, buying our own flour is a good idea too. We have had a few flour companies try to make us eat their products, but we have always declined and simply told them we don’t think we want something that “makes me crap my pants”.
That is not our issue, but sometimes you have to be a little creative to find the right brand for your needs. Sometimes a product will have a good, gluten-free, label, but when it comes to the actual ingredient, the label can get somewhat confusing. A good example of this is the breadmaker we tested. It’s actually a very good breadmaker for the price, but the label on the box simply said “glucose-free flour.
This was our first breadmaker. Its a bit quirky and looks a bit like a giant bag of potato chips. The box even had a little disclaimer that told us this was a glucose-free product. But the ingredients list is a bit confusing. Glucose is a major ingredient in breads and pasta, as well as in sugar and honey, so it’s surprising to find out that it’s in the gluten-free flour section.
So we know that this is a high-carb flour. But what if its high in protein? That seems to be a major ingredient in pasta, bread, and cakes. We have no idea where gluten comes from, so in most cases it would make sense to just use a starch high in carbohydrates, like potato, rice, or tapioca. But here we have a high-protein flour. So we’re trying to figure out if this flour is gluten-free.
