Pakora is typically gluten-free as it is traditionally made with chickpea flour (besan) or other gluten-free flours like rice flour. However, it’s important to confirm the ingredients used in specific recipes or restaurant preparations, as some variations might include wheat flour or be prepared in environments where cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients could occur.
Source of protein: Especially when made with lentil flour or containing vegetables like peas
Provides dietary fiber: From vegetables and legume-based flours
Contains essential vitamins and minerals: From vegetables like onions, spinach, or cauliflower
Offers antioxidants: Particularly when made with spices like turmeric or vegetables rich in antioxidants
Can be a good source of energy: Due to their carbohydrate content
May aid digestion: When made with spices like cumin or ginger
Potential anti-inflammatory properties: From spices like turmeric
Can be gluten-free: When made with chickpea or other non-wheat flours
May boost immunity: Due to the presence of certain vegetables and spices
Can be a source of healthy fats: If fried in healthier oils or baked instead of deep-friedIt’s important to note that while pakoras can offer these benefits, they are often deep-fried, which can add significant calories and unhealthy fats. Moderation is key, and healthier preparation methods like baking can enhance their nutritional value.
People with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease (if the pakoras contain wheat flour)
Individuals on low-fat or low-calorie diets, as pakoras are deep-fried and high in calories
Those with high cholesterol levels, due to the high fat content
Diabetics, as pakoras can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels
People with gallbladder issues or a history of gallstones
Individuals with digestive problems or acid reflux, as fried foods can exacerbate these conditions
Those with hypertension or heart disease, due to the high sodium and fat content
People with nut allergies (if the pakoras contain gram flour made from chickpeas)
Individuals following a low-carb diet
Those with a history of pancreatitis
People trying to manage their weight or lose weight
Individuals with certain liver conditions, as fried foods can be difficult to processRemember that moderation is key, and occasional consumption may be fine for some people. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist for personalized dietary advice.

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 ).
