What grains are included in the Balance mix, and is it suitable for a gluten-free diet?

The Obraz Zhizni "Balance" mix is a four-grain blend specifically combining cut barley, oats, wheat, and rye. This combination is designed to offer a mild, slightly nutty taste and a hearty texture that holds up well in various dishes. Because the mix includes wheat and rye, it contains gluten and is not suitable for individuals following a gluten-free diet or those with celiac disease. Barley and oats also contain gluten-related proteins, so cross-contamination or inherent gluten content makes this product unsafe for strict gluten avoidance. If you are looking for a grain-free or gluten-free alternative, this specific blend is not appropriate for your dietary needs. However, for those who tolerate gluten, the mix offers a diverse grain profile that can add variety to your pantry staples.
