4. Rice
Whether it’s white, whole grain, brown, long grain, or even exotic, rice is generally considered gluten free. Though it is made of grain, it doesn’t contain the type of gluten that causes dangerous reactions in people who have gluten intolerance or a wheat allergy. Just be mindful, though, when you are shopping for rice, as you want to avoid purchasing any type that may have possibly been cross-contaminated with wheat. You can use rice in so many ways, from a side dish to the foundation of a hearty beef and broccoli, and even in soups and casseroles. Read labels before you purchase rice to ensure that it doesn’t contain any wheat byproducts.
