Gluten Dodgers know how to avoid Gluten Foods and keep an eye on grains. However, most of us don’t know that everything from French fries to sausages might be hiding some gluten. Here is a list of some foods, you may not realise contain gluten.
- Dry Roasted Nuts
Yes!! Plain or salted nuts are gluten-free, however, dry roasted nuts often contain some quantity of wheat flour in the coating. So always check the label or try to opt for plain or salted nuts only.
- Soy Sauce
The traditional Chinese soy sauce contains some amount of wheat! Try substituting soy sauce with Japanese tamari soy sauce that is usually gluten-free. Though it is always recommended to check the label first.
- Buckwheat Flour
We all know, Buckwheat naturally doesn’t contain any Gluten. However, while processing and several growing conditions, it might become contaminated with several other grains, especially wheat. Always choose a brand of Buckwheat flour that is labelled gluten-free to ensure that it is suitable for you to eat.
- Spelt
It is a widely common myth that spelt doesn’t contain gluten, or contains negligible gluten. However, Spelt is basically an ancient strain of wheat and contains a moderate amount of gluten making unsuitable for people with coeliac disease.
- Sausages
There a many gluten-free versions available in the market, however, some of the regular sausages contains rusk made from wheat. When picking sausages, check the label and look out for ‘may contain’ statements.
- French Fries
Not all the French Fries (diner style steak fries) contains gluten. However, at most of the restaurants, they add a small amount of flour so the fries don’t stick together. Make sure to ask if they add anything like flour before ordering, else make your own fries at home.

Some of us are not aware that Beer is made with grains like barley that contains gluten. The good thing is there are several gluten-free beer brands available in the market to help you enjoy a frosty brew while being Gluten Free.
