ist naturreis glutenfrei — what can you do yourself?

Yes, natural rice (brown rice) is naturally gluten-free, as it does not contain wheat, rye, or barley. Gluten is a protein found in those grains, not in rice. However, cross-contamination can occur during processing, packaging, or in bulk bins. What can you do yourself? 1) Purchase rice that is certified gluten-free by a reputable organization. 2) Rinse rice thoroughly before cooking to reduce potential contaminants. 3) For processed rice products (e.g., rice cakes, rice flakes), always check the ingredient label. 4) If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, opt for products from dedicated gluten-free facilities. Natural rice is generally safe, but caution is warranted with non-certified products. This advice is based on established dietary practice and guidelines from celiac support organizations.
