Gluten-free
Gluten-free refers to foods and dishes that are made without gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and related grains. Gluten-free cuisine caters to individuals with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or those who choose to avoid gluten for health reasons. These dishes often substitute traditional ingredients with gluten-free alternatives, such as rice, corn, quinoa, or almond flour, to create breads, pasta, pastries, and other meals that maintain flavor and texture without the presence of gluten.
