Is Spanish Rice Gluten Free?
Generally speaking, traditional Spanish rice is gluten-free as it’s typically made with rice, vegetables, and spices, none of which contain gluten. However, it’s important to check the specific recipe or ingredients list, as some variations might include gluten-containing additives or be prepared in facilities that process gluten products, potentially leading to cross-contamination.

Good source of complex carbohydrates: Provides sustained energy throughout the day
Rich in fiber: Aids digestion and promotes feelings of fullness
Contains essential vitamins and minerals: Such as iron, thiamin, and niacin from the rice
Provides plant-based protein: When combined with beans or lentils
Low in fat: Especially when prepared with minimal oil
Contains antioxidants: From ingredients like tomatoes and peppers
Offers anti-inflammatory properties: Due to spices like cumin and garlic

Versatile for dietary needs: Can be easily adapted for gluten-free or vegan diets
Provides lycopene: A beneficial antioxidant found in tomatoes
May aid in weight management: Due to its fiber content and potential to increase satiety
Can be a good source of vegetables: When prepared with added veggies like peas or carrots
Supports blood sugar regulation: Thanks to its complex carbohydrates and fiber contentRemember that the exact nutritional profile and health benefits can vary depending on the specific recipe and preparation method used.

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 ).
