Gluten-free ‘no bloating’ bread

Every day billions around the globe munch through rolls, wraps, and baps made of wheat – many will experience bloating, high blood sugar, and sleepiness.

This is why so many are going gluten free.

Gluten is the protein found in barley, rye, and wheat products used as a binder, much like glue. Gluten intolerance is when the gut cannot properly digest it.

This delicious buckwheat and almond bread is a great alternative for those who have nixed gluten. Nuts and seeds provide healthy fats, and it tastes great.
