Is Soba Noodles Gluten Free?
Traditional soba noodles are made primarily from buckwheat flour, which is naturally gluten-free. However, many commercially available soba noodles also contain wheat flour, so it’s important to check the ingredients or look for specifically labeled gluten-free soba noodles if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

High in protein: Soba noodles contain more protein than other types of noodles, making them a good option for vegetarians and vegans.
Rich in fiber: The high fiber content aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy gut.
Low in fat: Soba noodles are naturally low in fat, making them a heart-healthy choice.
Gluten-free option: Pure buckwheat soba noodles are gluten-free, suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Good source of manganese: This mineral is important for bone health, wound healing, and metabolism.
Contains rutin: A flavonoid that may help improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation.
Lower glycemic index: Compared to wheat-based noodles, soba noodles have a lower glycemic index, potentially helping to manage blood sugar levels.
Rich in antioxidants: Buckwheat contains antioxidants that may help protect against cellular damage.
Source of essential amino acids: Soba noodles provide all eight essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own.
May help lower blood pressure: Some studies suggest that buckwheat consumption may help reduce high blood pressure.
Contains thiamin: This B vitamin is important for energy metabolism and nervous system function.Remember that the health benefits can vary depending on the specific ingredients and preparation methods used for the soba noodles.

Those with a soy allergy (as some soba noodles may contain soy sauce)
People on a low-carb or ketogenic diet
Individuals with diabetes who need to monitor their carbohydrate intake carefully
Those following a low-sodium diet (if the noodles are served with high-sodium sauces or broths)
People with egg allergies (if the noodles contain egg as a binding agent)
Individuals on a grain-free diet
Those with severe sesame allergies (as sesame oil is sometimes used in soba dishes)

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 ).
