    Is California Roll Gluten Free?

    A traditional California roll is typically gluten-free as it usually contains rice, nori (seaweed), cucumber, avocado, and imitation crab meat. However, it’s important to note that some restaurants may use imitation crab meat containing wheat, or they might add soy sauce (which often contains gluten) to the rice, so it’s always best to check with the specific restaurant or sushi chef to be certain.

    What is Tolerase® G?

    A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
    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 ).

    Gluten Free Alternatives
    Here are five gluten-free alternatives to a California Roll, along with short descriptions for each:
    Cucumber Wrapped Sushi: Instead of using rice and nori, this alternative uses thin cucumber slices to wrap around fresh fish, avocado, and other fillings. It's low-carb, refreshing, and provides a satisfying crunch.
    Cauliflower Rice Sushi: This option replaces traditional sushi rice with finely chopped cauliflower "rice." It's mixed with rice vinegar and other seasonings to mimic the texture and flavor of sushi rice, then rolled with typical California Roll ingredients.
    Quinoa Sushi Rolls: Quinoa, a gluten-free grain, is used as a substitute for rice. It's prepared similarly to sushi rice and provides a protein-rich base for the roll, which can be filled with typical California Roll ingredients.
    Nori Wrapped Hand Rolls: These cone-shaped rolls use larger sheets of nori to wrap around fillings without rice. They're often filled with vegetables, fish, and avocado, providing a similar taste profile to California Rolls but without any grains.
    Rice Paper Rolls: Also known as summer rolls, these use soft, translucent rice paper wrappers instead of nori. They're typically filled with fresh vegetables, avocado, and proteins like crab or shrimp, offering a light and refreshing alternative to traditional sushi.

    Frequently
    Asked Questions 1

    Do California rolls have gluten in them?
    California rolls typically do not contain gluten. The main ingredients - rice, nori seaweed, cucumber, avocado, and imitation crab meat - are generally gluten-free. However, some imitation crab meat products may contain wheat as a binding agent. It's always best to check with the restaurant or manufacturer to be certain about the gluten content of specific California rolls.
    What sushi rolls are typically gluten-free?
    Most basic sushi rolls made with rice, fish, and vegetables are naturally gluten-free. Nigiri sushi, which consists of fish on top of rice, is also typically gluten-free. However, some sushi rolls may contain gluten in the form of soy sauce, imitation crab meat, or tempura batter. It's always best to ask the restaurant about specific ingredients and preparation methods to ensure a roll is truly gluten-free.
    Is crab stick gluten-free?
    Crab stick, also known as imitation crab or surimi, is typically not gluten-free. Most crab stick products contain wheat starch as a binding agent, which contains gluten. However, some manufacturers do produce gluten-free versions of crab stick using alternative starches. It's important to always check the ingredient list or look for products specifically labeled as gluten-free if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
    Is soy sauce gluten free?
    Traditionally, soy sauce contains wheat and is not gluten-free. However, there are gluten-free soy sauce options available on the market. These are typically made with 100% soy and no wheat. It's important for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to carefully check labels and choose certified gluten-free soy sauce products.
