Is Risotto Gluten Free?

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.

What is Tolerase® G?

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
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 ).

Gluten Free Alternatives
Quinoa Pilaf- A nutrient-dense grain-like seed that cooks quickly and has a slightly nutty flavor. It absorbs flavors well and is a good substitute for risotto due to its nutritional profile and cooking properties.
Cauliflower Rice- Finely chopped or grated cauliflower that mimics the texture of rice. It's low in carbs, high in fiber, and can be seasoned and cooked to resemble a risotto-like dish.
Buckwheat Groats- Despite its name, buckwheat is gluten-free and not related to wheat. When cooked, it has a tender texture and nutty flavor that works well as a risotto alternative.
Millet Risotto- A small, round grain that becomes creamy when cooked with additional adjustments. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and can be prepared using similar techniques to traditional risotto.
Sorghum Risotto- An ancient grain with a chewy texture and slightly sweet taste. When cooked slowly with broth and other ingredients, it can create a dish similar to risotto in consistency and satisfaction.

Frequently
Asked Questions 1

Is risotto healthier than rice?
Risotto and rice have similar nutritional profiles as they are both grain-based dishes. However, risotto is often prepared with additional ingredients like butter, cheese, and wine, which can increase its calorie and fat content. Plain rice, especially brown rice, may be considered slightly healthier due to its higher fiber content and fewer added ingredients. Ultimately, the healthiness of either dish depends largely on the specific ingredients and preparation method used.
Is risotto rice or pasta?
Risotto is a rice dish. It is made with a specific type of short-grain rice, typically Arborio or Carnaroli, or Vialone Nano. Risotto is not a pasta dish. The rice used for risotto becomes creamy when cooked slowly with broth, creating its signature texture.
