Traditional naan bread is not gluten-free as it is typically made with wheat flour, which contains gluten. However, there are gluten-free versions of naan available that use alternative flours such as rice flour, almond flour, or gluten-free flour blends, though these may differ in taste and texture from traditional naan.
Source of carbohydrates: Provides energy for daily activities
Contains some protein: Helps with muscle maintenance and repair
Offers some dietary fiber: Aids in digestion and promotes feelings of fullness
Provides small amounts of vitamins and minerals: Such as B vitamins, iron, and calcium
Can be fortified: Some varieties may be enriched with additional nutrients
Potential probiotic benefits: If made with yogurt, it may contain beneficial bacteria
Low in fat: When prepared traditionally without excessive oil or butter
Versatile: Can be used as a vehicle for healthier toppings or fillings

Gluten-free options: Available for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac diseaseIt’s important to remember that naan bread is relatively high in calories and carbohydrates, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, as naan contains wheat flour
Individuals following a gluten-free diet for other health reasons
People with wheat allergies
Those on a low-carb or ketogenic diet, due to naan’s high carbohydrate content
Individuals trying to reduce their calorie intake, as naan can be calorie-dense
People with diabetes who need to carefully monitor their carbohydrate intake
Those following a vegan diet, as traditional naan often contains yogurt or milk
Individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance, if the naan contains dairy products
People adhering to a paleo or grain-free diet
Those following a yeast-free diet, as naan typically contains yeast
Individuals with specific religious or cultural dietary restrictions that prohibit certain ingredients commonly found in naanRemember that some of these restrictions may be addressed by specially made versions of naan (e.g., gluten-free or vegan naan), but it’s important to check ingredients carefully.

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 ).
