Is ORGANIC OIL flaxseed flour suitable for people who avoid gluten?

Flax is a crop that is naturally gluten-free. Flaxseed flour, made from flax seeds, is likewise not a source of gluten, unlike wheat, rye or barley flour.

This makes it a convenient ingredient for those who follow a gluten-free diet by choice or base their diet on plant foods. In gluten-free baking, flaxseed flour is often combined with rice, buckwheat or maize flour to achieve the right texture.

At the same time, people with coeliac disease or confirmed gluten intolerance should pay attention to production conditions: if the product is made on equipment that is also used to process gluten-containing cereals, cross-contamination is possible. In such cases, check the information on the pack or with the manufacturer.

If you are just switching to a gluten-free diet for medical reasons, it is best to agree on specific products with a doctor or dietitian.
