Traditional brioche is not gluten-free as it is made with wheat flour, which contains gluten. However, there are gluten-free brioche recipes and commercially available products that use alternative flours like rice flour, almond flour, or gluten-free flour blends to mimic the taste and texture of traditional brioche.
Source of complex carbohydrates: Brioche provides energy through its carbohydrate content.
Contains essential vitamins: It often includes vitamins like B1, B2, and B3, which are important for metabolism and energy production.
Provides some protein: While not a high-protein food, brioche does contain some protein from eggs and milk.
Source of calcium: Due to milk and butter content, brioche can contribute to calcium intake.
Provides iron: The enriched flour used in brioche can be a source of iron.
Contains some fiber: Though not a high-fiber food, it does provide some dietary fiber.
Potential source of omega-3 fatty acids: If made with eggs from pasture-raised hens, it may contain some omega-3s.
Mood-boosting properties: The combination of carbs and tryptophan (from eggs) may help boost serotonin production.
Moderate fat content: The butter in brioche provides some healthy fats, which are necessary for nutrient absorption.However, it’s important to note that brioche is generally considered a treat food due to its high calorie and sugar content. These benefits should be weighed against its overall nutritional profile, and brioche should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Individuals with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, as brioche is made with wheat flour
People with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance, since brioche typically contains milk and butter
Those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet, due to brioche’s high carbohydrate content
Individuals on a low-fat diet, as brioche is rich in butter and often high in fat
People with egg allergies, since brioche usually contains eggs
Diabetics or those monitoring their blood sugar, as brioche can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose levels
Individuals following a vegan lifestyle, due to the presence of animal products like eggs, milk, and butter
Those with yeast allergies or sensitivities, as brioche is typically made with yeast
People trying to lose weight or maintain a calorie-controlled diet, since brioche is often high in calories
Individuals with specific religious or cultural dietary restrictions that prohibit certain ingredients found in briocheRemember that some of these concerns can be addressed with specially made versions of brioche (e.g., gluten-free or vegan), but traditional brioche would be problematic for these groups.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
