What Wheat Is Gluten Free?
Wheat is not gluten-free. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, as well as in other grains such as barley, rye, and spelt. However, there are some wheat varieties that have been bred to be low in gluten or have been processed to remove most of the gluten, such as einkorn, emmer, and spelt. These varieties may be tolerated by some individuals with gluten sensitivity or intolerance, but they are not suitable for those with celiac disease or a severe gluten allergy.
