This is my first post. Hope it goes through okay.
My question is regarding a coffee substitute called Dandy Blend. It contains roasted rye and barley and yet it states it contains no gluten. This is what is posted on the website:
Q. DandyBlend contains barley and rye. So, how can
it contain no detectable gluten?
A. DandyBlend is made from extracts of barley and rye,
not from barley and rye themselves. The roasted grains are
mixed with the roasted roots, are ground, and then the
water-soluble components (nutrients, minerals, biologically
active substances) are leached out of the mash by hot water,
just like you do when making tea. The liquid extract which
is collected at the bottom is then spray dried to make the
powder which we then call DandyBlend. Why no gluten?
Gluten is not water soluble; it only dissolves in alcohol.
Therefore, since no alcohol is used in the extracting
process, all the gluten stays back in the mash. Tests done
by Eliza-Tek Laboratories confirm the absence of detectable gluten in
Dandy Blend.
My question for some knowledgeable person is...Can this really be true?
And has anyone on the List actually used this product?
I look forward to learning more.
Thanks.
