Is 100% rye flour gluten free
Please help. I have an artisan baker who told me that 100% rye bread is gluten free as it is a single strain?
Most articles state that rye has gluten.
I hope you can solve this.
Thanks.

Dear Katherine
According to Krause's Food & the Nutrition Care Process, Edition 13(2012), p 618: "Gluten refers to specific peptide fractions of proteins (prolamines) found in wheat (glutenin and gliadin), rye (secalin), and barley (hordein.) " Patients with severe gluten sensitivity should, therefore avoid all foods made with wheat, rye and barley.
I hope this helps.
