Pickeled Ginger?

[EG+FC]

Is the pickeled ginger that is servered with sushi gluten-free?

[tarnalberry]

If you accept that regular vinegar is gluten-free, then yes.

Of course, you should always try to verify ingredients, but in a restaurant situation, pickled ginger is one thing I don't worry about.

the pickled ginger that i buy (for home) is with rice vinegar.

Where do you get it? The one that's available at Vitamin Cottage has barley in the ingredients list - which GREATLY disappointed me when I first read it!

i live in canada, but i get it at the local grocer. it's an imported, japanese brand, though.... there are about ten different varieties in the store, though. the ingredients (off the top of my head) are ginger, rice vinegar, seaweed, and i think something else, i don't remember. anyway, i am really sensitive too, and didn't react to it.

if you really can't find it, i have no problem mailing you some! let me know, okay?

That's such bs! I would reccommend getting one that is largely in Japanese, they have to put english labels on them upon import. I seriously doubt that genuine japanese pickled ginger would contain barley.
