Cooking sherry is typically gluten-free as it is made from fermented grapes, not grains containing gluten. However, it’s always best to check the label or contact the manufacturer to confirm, as some brands may add flavorings or other ingredients that could potentially contain gluten.

Antioxidant properties: Sherry contains polyphenols, which are antioxidants that may help protect cells from damage.
Heart health: Moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages like sherry has been linked to potential cardiovascular benefits.
Digestive aid: Sherry has traditionally been used as a digestif to help stimulate digestion after meals.
Blood sugar regulation: Some studies suggest that moderate alcohol consumption may help improve insulin sensitivity.
Bone health: Sherry contains silicon, which may contribute to maintaining bone density.
Cognitive function: Light to moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with potential cognitive benefits in some studies.
Stress reduction: When consumed in moderation, alcohol can have a relaxing effect, potentially helping to reduce stress.
Longevity: Some research suggests that moderate alcohol consumption may be associated with increased life expectancy.
Antimicrobial properties: Sherry has been shown to have some antimicrobial effects against certain foodborne pathogens.
Flavor enhancement: While not a direct health benefit, cooking sherry can add depth and complexity to dishes, potentially making healthier meals more enjoyable.It’s important to note that these potential benefits are associated with moderate consumption, and excessive alcohol intake can lead to numerous health problems. Additionally, cooking sherry is high in sodium, so individuals on sodium-restricted diets should use it sparingly.

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 ).
