Sprouted Grains

I've just heard that sprouted grains do not have gluten. Does anyone know if this is true. I thought they did...but don't understand all the details. I know this bread says "flourless" but I thought it still had gluten. Does anyone understand what "sprouted grains" means?

It just means they took the grains and sprouted them like they were going to plant them. They are still wheat, even if not flour.

You can go to Food for Life's website (www.foodforlife.com), they do not claim Ezekiel Bread is gluten free. They have other breads that are though.

Sprouted grains are NOT gluten free.

And Niether is Spelt, though many helath food store workers have told me Spelt is ok. 'Ware the Health Food Store workers advice, or that of people on a health food kick. Just enough knowledge to make em dangerous.

In sprouted grains, the starch is turned to sugar, but the protein is unchanged.

Other misconceptions I have heard are that fermenting the dough by use of sourdough for a leavening will remove the risk (untrue, it just changes a little of the starch) and that somebody whose ancestors came from Northern Europe are better adapted to eat rye than wheat. Excuse me?

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
