<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The following summary was recently posted to the list: Thanks to all who responded; the overwhelming advice and answers I received said that yes, sprouted wheat, Ezekiel bread and wheat grass juice all have gluten and are to be avoided at all times. This list is a great resource! So, I posted the following question: I have searched the internet and I am unable to find any information whatsoever that says that wheatgrass and barleygrass contain gluten. I even manipulated my searches so as to TRY to bring up sites that said it did. All I found were hundreds of sites claiming wheatgrass to be GF. Can someone explain how and why these sprouts contain gluten? The following replies seem to sum it up best: - As far as I know, the grass blades--that is the sprout part--would be gf. But the germ or seed would contain gluten, so if any part of the germ or seed still adheres to the sprout, that would contaminate any product made from the grass. It's basically assuming that the sprouts might not have been thoroughly cleaned and therefore just playing safe to avoid sprouted grain products. - Actually, the grasses themselves are gluten free. If you're handling your own wheat grass, or can be sure that no wheat kernels/barley kernels are going into the juicer, you're fine. It's the sprouted grains themselves - with the kernel still attached, that is problematic. Janice. * Visit the Celiac Web Page at www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/index.html *
