What is Grain-Free?
We all know that grains are a staple in most traditional diets, but a growing number of people are cutting out this food group. Many do so because of allergies or intolerances, while others opt for a grain-free lifestyle to lose weight or improve their health.
When we say grain-free, it eliminates all grains, as well as foods that come from them. This includes gluten-free grains. Here are a few examples of some gluten-filled grains:
- Wheat
- Spelt
- Barley
- Rye
- Triticale
As well as those that are gluten-free:
- Dried corn
- Millet
- Rice
- Sorghum
- Oats
This may seem daunting, but Otto's Naturals - Cassava Flour can help make the transition to Grain-Free easy as pie! Let us know in the comments how being Grain-Free has helped you!
