5 Gluten-Free Grains That Are Super Healthy

Some people don't tolerate gluten very well, if at all.
Problem is that many of the most commonly consumed grains contain gluten. However, there are plenty of nutritious gluten-free grains available, too.

First of all when you buy the grain make sure is says Gluten Free. Its got to be on the package. If the grains are in a bin you run the risk of cross contamination and that's on you.

My breakfast cereal is a combination of grits, quinoa, brown rice, oats, amaranth, buckwheat, and millet.

I take 1/4 cup of each one with 2 tbs of chia seeds, run it through my mill and measure out 1/4 cup. It comes out to 324 calories and 53.5 g of carb.

I really like this combination

You should have included teff. It's packed with many nutrients, including iron, magnesium, and calcium. It is great cooked. And it can be made into a flour with a high speed blender or food processor, best used in baking when mixed with other gluten free flours.

Thanks for the informative video! My daughter has multiple food allergies and we use quinoa, buckwheat, and sorghum flour often.

Thank you. Please add that Turmeric is also a blood thinner. Let’s check the others too. Blessings

FYI; Oats have gluten in them but under a different name, according to Dr. Joel Wallach from the youngivity line of Vitamins and mineral called the Mighty Ninety .

I would like to make pasta and I am experimenting with oats, chickpeas, lentil etc can I use any of your suggestions to keep the pasta together? I am trying to stay away from gluten but it seems to be needed to keep dough from falling apart. Any comments and/or thoughts?

I am a Functional Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach who specializes in working with people with gut and autoimmune issues. While I can agree with much of what you are saying regarding the nutrient content of these grains, people with these types of conditions need to temporarily or permenently avoid grains like these, or soak or sprout them to remove a good percentage of the anti-nutrient lectins that fuel an inflammatory response in the body. Same goes for nuts, beans, legumes, and seeds...sometimes nightshades as well. I agree though, that these foods can be great for those people who are generally healthy to include moderately in their diet, if well tolerated.

My question is white rice gluten free or not ?

[halemotors]

Im Ceoliac! If i eat Oats im seriously in trouble!

[monesheity]

Any one explain me white rice gluten free or it as gluten

[wendydenney]

You missed flax and chia seeds. ;) maybe you should do a top 10.

[pambrunelle]

But what about the lectins ? gluten is a low grade lectin and for instance if quinoa is not cooked in a pressure cooker it contains for me anyways gut irritating levels of lectins. ??? !!!

[christinecomeau]

Thank you. Helps in making wise food choices. Please comment on how to use them. Also what about chia seeds, flax seeds and hemp seeds. I also would like to know about greek yogurt and hummus. Do you have any recipes or know where to look for using or making these?
Don't flax seeds have to be ground before use?
Thank You

Buckwheat is way better then brown rice & wild rice or sorghum. It has complete protein, lots of magnesium.

[chicacamionista]

What about quick oats? Or steel cut... is one better than the other?

Gluten is not the problematic dear, if you take unfiltered flour of wheat and barely I does not harm your intestine, Inflammatory bowel disease such ulcerative colitis and crohn disease takes place because people are taking bread of filtered wheat flour that is free from fiber, and if you take gluten with fiber it does not harm your intestine
