Health Information
Benefits of Tempura

Source of protein: Tempura made with seafood or vegetables provides protein, essential for muscle growth and repair.

Omega-3 fatty acids: Seafood tempura, especially fish, can be a good source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Vegetable nutrients: Vegetable tempura can provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the vegetables used.

Lower fat content: Compared to other deep-fried foods, tempura’s light batter absorbs less oil, potentially resulting in lower fat content.

Gluten-free option: When made with rice flour or other gluten-free flours, tempura can be suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.

Antioxidants: Some vegetables used in tempura, like sweet potatoes or pumpkin, are rich in antioxidants.

Calcium and iron: Seafood tempura can provide calcium and iron, important for bone health and oxygen transport.

Lower calorie option: When prepared properly, tempura can be a lighter alternative to other fried foods.

Improved digestion: The vegetables in tempura can contribute to digestive health due to their fiber content.

Mood-boosting properties: The act of eating tempura, often associated with social dining, can have positive effects on mood and well-being.It’s important to note that these benefits are most pronounced when tempura is consumed as part of a balanced diet and not overindulged in, as it is still a fried food.

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
Rice flour batter:A light and crispy coating made from finely ground rice flour. It provides a similar texture to traditional tempura and is naturally gluten-free. This option works well for vegetables, seafood, and meats.
Cornstarch coating:A thin, crispy layer created by dusting ingredients with cornstarch before frying. This method results in a delicate, crisp exterior while allowing the natural flavors of the food to shine through.
Chickpea flour batter:Also known as gram flour or besan, this protein-rich alternative creates a nutty, flavorful coating. It produces a slightly denser texture than traditional tempura but offers a satisfying crunch.
Potato starch batter:A light and airy coating that becomes very crispy when fried. Potato starch creates a delicate, almost translucent exterior that's similar to traditional tempura in appearance and texture.
Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend:A mix of various gluten-free flours (such as rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch) that can be used to create a tempura-like batter. These blends are formulated to mimic the properties of wheat flour and can produce a similar texture to traditional tempura when prepared correctly.

Frequently
Asked Questions 1

Does tempura contain gluten?
Tempura batter traditionally contains wheat flour, which does contain gluten. However, it is possible to make gluten-free tempura using alternative flours such as rice flour or cornstarch. For those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, it's important to confirm the ingredients used in tempura preparation. When dining out, always ask about the specific ingredients and preparation methods to ensure the tempura is truly gluten-free.
Is tempura batter made from rice flour?
Tempura batter is typically not made from rice flour. Traditional tempura batter is usually made with wheat flour, water, and sometimes egg. Rice flour can be used as a substitute for wheat flour to make gluten-free tempura batter. However, this is not the standard recipe for authentic Japanese tempura.
Is tempura rice or wheat flour?
Tempura batter is typically made with wheat flour, not rice flour. The main ingredients in traditional tempura batter are wheat flour, water, and sometimes egg. Rice flour may occasionally be used as a substitute or addition, but it's not the standard. Classic Japanese tempura is known for its light, crispy texture, which is achieved primarily through the use of wheat flour.
What is tempura dough made of?
Tempura batter is typically made with a mixture of flour, water, and sometimes egg. The key to achieving a light and crispy texture is using very cold water and not overmixing the batter. Some recipes may also include additional ingredients like baking soda or cornstarch for extra crispiness. The batter is kept intentionally lumpy and used immediately for best results.
