Low in calories: Papad is generally low in calories, making it a suitable option for those watching their calorie intake.
Good source of protein: Many papads are made from lentils or beans, which provide a good amount of plant-based protein.
Contains dietary fiber: The lentils and beans used in papad contribute dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes gut health.
Rich in minerals: Papad can be a source of minerals like iron, magnesium, and phosphorus, depending on the ingredients used.
Gluten-free option: Many traditional papads are naturally gluten-free, making them suitable for people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

Low in fat: When roasted or air-fried instead of deep-fried, papad can be a low-fat snack option.
Contains spices: Some papads include spices like black pepper or cumin, which may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Aids digestion: The combination of spices and fiber in papad may help stimulate digestion.
Provides energy: The carbohydrates in papad can provide a quick source of energy.It’s important to note that the health benefits of papad can vary depending on the ingredients and preparation method. Additionally, some store-bought papads may contain high amounts of salt or unhealthy fats, so moderation is key.

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 ).
