Tag: Low gluten wheat

Contrary to popular belief, some ancient wheat varieties can have a higher total gluten content than modern types. For individuals with a gluten sensitivity, not celiac disease, the question isn't about the total amount but about the specific gluten structure, which is why people often ask which wheat variety has the least gluten.

Cultivated for millennia, ancient wheat varieties like Emmer and Einkorn contain a different type of gluten than modern wheat. For those with mild sensitivities, the question of which wheat is low in gluten is complex, often depending on gluten structure rather than overall quantity.
