the spices themselves should not contain gluten - HOWEVER - some companies put gluten in spices to help keep them from clumping or whatever. I am not sure which brands are safe; I'm sure someone else will answer that, or you can search for safe spices.

McKormick/Schilling herbs and spices are supposed to not contain hidden gluten.

The safest option is to buy whole spices and grind them your self.

Coriander,cumin,star ainseed,black pepper -> THESE JUST GENTLY ROAST THEN PUT IN A MORTAR AND PESTLE

cinnamon,nutmeg -> NEED GRATING

black cardamon,green cardamom,bay leaves,clove -> THESE I PUT WHOLE IN A MUSLIN BAG AND COOK IN THE CURRY AND DISGUARD AFTER

ginger,pimento -> DRY YOUR OWN FROM FRESH ... WITH GINGER YOU CAN EVEN USE SOME OF THE PART YOU USUALLY THROW WHEN USING FRESH

Turmeric powder -> STILL USE THIS AS POWDER, BUY A GOOD BRAND
