Cajun cuisine itself is not inherently gluten-free, as it often includes ingredients like flour for roux and wheat-based products. However, many Cajun dishes can be easily adapted to be gluten-free by using alternative ingredients, and there are naturally gluten-free Cajun dishes available as well.
High in protein: Many Cajun dishes feature lean meats, fish, and seafood, providing essential proteins for muscle building and repair.
Rich in vegetables: Traditional Cajun cooking often incorporates a variety of vegetables, offering vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Spice-induced metabolism boost: The spicy nature of Cajun food may temporarily increase metabolism, potentially aiding in weight management.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Certain spices used in Cajun cooking, like cayenne pepper, have anti-inflammatory effects.
Heart-healthy: When using healthy cooking oils and lean proteins, Cajun cuisine can be beneficial for heart health.
Antioxidant-rich: Many Cajun spices and herbs contain antioxidants that help fight free radicals in the body.
Low in sugar: Traditional Cajun dishes are typically not high in added sugars.
Selenium source: Seafood common in Cajun cuisine is often rich in selenium, an important mineral for thyroid function and immune health.
Capsaicin benefits: The spiciness from cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, which may help reduce pain and inflammation.
Potential cancer-fighting properties: Some studies suggest that capsaicin may have anti-cancer properties.Remember, these benefits are maximized when Cajun food is prepared using healthy cooking methods and ingredients, avoiding excessive fats or sodium.

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 ).
