What is gluten?
Gluten is a natural protein that is found in wheat, barley, and rye. However, gluten was started to be added to food products as a way to improve the texture of the food and give it a longer shelf life.
It is a binding agent to help the dough stick together and prevent it from crumbling. Gluten also helps give the food product the ability to retain moisture.
The attention to gluten really took off in the 1970s and 80s as the convenience of processed foods became more popular.en was not only used for bread, cereals, and pasta. The manufacturers of processed food started to use gluten in sauces, processed meats, and crackers to help them have a longer shelf life.
