Gluten

Definition of gluten

Gluten is a protein found in all cereals: wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn, rice, sorghum, and teff—even when labeled as «Gluten Free», since the label usually refers only to wheat, barley, and rye.

It is responsible for the elasticity and texture of baked goods, but it can cause various health issues, as most people have difficulty digesting it.
