Good source of B vitamins: Supports energy metabolism and nervous system function
Contains carotenoids: May have anti-inflammatory properties
Gluten content may be more easily digestible: Potentially beneficial for some people with gluten sensitivities (though not suitable for those with celiac disease)
May help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes: Due to its low glycemic index and high fiber content
Supports weight loss efforts: Due to its high fiber and protein content, which can increase satietyRemember that while freekeh offers these potential benefits, it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet for optimal health.
People with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity: Freekeh is made from wheat and contains gluten, so it’s not suitable for those who need to follow a gluten-free diet.
Individuals with wheat allergies: Since freekeh is made from wheat, those with wheat allergies should avoid it.
People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): Some individuals with IBS may find that wheat-based products like freekeh trigger symptoms, especially if they’re sensitive to FODMAPs.
Those on a low-FODMAP diet: Freekeh is high in FODMAPs, which may cause digestive issues for some people.
Individuals with digestive disorders: People with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis should consult their doctor before adding freekeh to their diet.
Those on a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Freekeh is relatively high in carbohydrates, which may not fit into these dietary plans.
People with diabetes who are not monitoring their carbohydrate intake: While freekeh has a lower glycemic index than some grains, it still contains carbohydrates that can affect blood sugar levels.
Individuals with specific grain-free diets: Those following paleo, grain-free, or certain other restrictive diets may need to avoid freekeh.Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have any health concerns or conditions.

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 ).
