Challah bread is traditionally not gluten-free, as it is made with wheat flour which contains gluten. However, there are gluten-free versions of challah available, made with alternative flours like almond or rice flour, for those who need to avoid gluten in their diet.
Source of complex carbohydrates: Provides energy for the body
Contains some protein: Helps with muscle repair and growth
Provides dietary fiber: Aids in digestion and promotes feelings of fullness
Source of selenium: An antioxidant that supports thyroid function and immune system
Contains iron: Important for red blood cell production and oxygen transport
Provides some B vitamins: Essential for energy metabolism and nervous system function
Low in fat: Typically made with minimal oil or fat
Egg content adds some nutrients: Including vitamins A, D, E, and B12
Can be fortified: Some varieties may be enriched with additional vitamins and minerals
Potential probiotic benefits: If made with sourdough starter
Cultural and spiritual significance: Can contribute to mental and emotional well-being for those who observe Jewish traditionsIt’s important to note that these benefits are modest, and Challah should be consumed as part of a balanced diet. Whole grain versions of Challah would offer more nutritional benefits than those made with refined flour.

Individuals with wheat allergies
Those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet, due to the high carbohydrate content of challah
People with diabetes who need to carefully monitor their carbohydrate intake
Individuals on a yeast-free diet, as challah usually contains yeast
Those following a vegan diet, as traditional challah recipes often include eggs

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 ).
