Is Risotto Gluten Free?
Traditional risotto is generally gluten-free as it’s made primarily with rice, which does not contain gluten. However, the rice is cooked in broth, which may have traces of gluten, often in the form of yeast extract. It’s important to check that all other ingredients used in the risotto are also gluten-free to ensure the entire dish is safe for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

Versatile dish: Can be made with various ingredients and flavors
Can be a good source of protein when made with meat, seafood, protein-rich veggies or legumes
Creamy texture without necessarily using cream
Can be easily adapted for vegetarian or vegan diets
Often gluten-free when made with arborio or other rice varieties
Provides a good source of complex carbohydrates
Can be a good way to use up leftover ingredients
Often contains beneficial nutrients from broth or stock
Cooking method allows for better nutrient absorption from the rice
Risotto made with whole grain rice or Arborio rice is high in fiber
Can be an impressive dish for entertaining
Often less expensive than other restaurant-quality dishes to make at homeRemember that the nutritional benefits can vary depending on the specific ingredients used in each risotto recipe.
People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (unless the risotto is made with gluten-free ingredients)
Individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance (as most risottos contain butter and cheese)
Those on a low-carb or ketogenic diet (due to the high carbohydrate content of rice)
People with diabetes who need to carefully monitor their carbohydrate intake
Individuals on a low-calorie diet (as risotto can be high in calories)
Those with shellfish allergies (if the risotto contains seafood)
People with high blood pressure who need to limit their sodium intake (as risotto can be high in salt)
Individuals following a vegan diet (unless the risotto is specifically prepared without animal products)
Those with certain gastrointestinal conditions that require a low-fiber diet
People with allergies to specific ingredients commonly used in risotto (such as onions, garlic, or certain vegetables)

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 ).
