Ever Wonder Is there gluten in meat? Finding gluten free food can be hard... especially when buying things are processed but here are a few rules that help me decide if food is gluten free and if should buy that meat.

NO CRUMBS

Stay away from anything crumbed - this will more then likley be wheat flour based.

WATCH THE MARINADE

Stay away from marinades - supermarkets and butchers seem to love teryaki and soy based marinades, they also tend to thicken with wheat flour. I prefer to make my own marninades at home and buying unprocessed steak, roast beef, chicken, pork of lamb. Watch out for any chinese marinades as they are more then likley derived from soya sauce which contains gluten.

PROCESSED VS. NATURAL

Often wheat flour is used to thicked up and bind together processed meats, sausages, patties, rissoles and nuggets can all contain wheat flour or thickeners. Always read the label and look out for gluten free lables.

When in doubt go for fresh Unprocessed, Unmarindated & Uncrumbed meats as they are the least likley to.

Its easy to make a marindate or gluten free gravy so any meat tastes good... and think how much healthier you will be by choosing un processed meats.
