Awareness about gluten
Gluten is a protein type of thing that is found that is mainly found in wheat and other related products such as barley and rye. The main use of gluten is to provide elastic effect to the dough that helps in raising it and keep its shape intact. Gluten often gives a chewy texture to the food. Gluten is not bad but there are some people who are sensitive or allergic to this thing. These often lead to disease, the major form of which is celiac disease. The numbers of people who are intolerant to gluten are increasing day by day and therefore some companies have come forward with Gluten Free Events that helps people go gluten free.
