At Caña Nature all our recipes are gluten-free. This is a clear advantage so that people with coeliac disease or high gluten sensitivity can enjoy our products without risk.

None of them contain foods that may include gluten in their composition. Even recipes such as our fresh salmorejo are made without bread, using rice flour instead. The result is a taste identical to the traditional one, with all the properties of this sauce intact and, moreover, suitable for people with coeliac disease.

Benefits of gluten-free foods

Gluten can pose a health risk for people with coeliac condition. The ingestion of any food containing even traces of gluten can affect their intestine with long-term damage. In addition, its effects may also include abdominal pain, weight loss, anaemia and even stunted growth, among many others.

In addition, some people have sensitivities to gluten-containing foods. Without actually having coeliac disease, ingestion of gluten causes reactions of various kinds and they may even develop an allergy to this protein.

People suffering from irritable bowel syndrome also often opt for a gluten-free diet, as they need to eat foods that do not pose any risk to their well-being and health.

For all of these people, eating gluten-free foods means that they no longer suffer from the symptoms it causes in their bodies and can therefore enjoy a diet that is suitable for them.

The improvement in quality of life that gluten-free foods offer for these people can benefit them in many areas:

• Symptoms caused by gluten-containing foods are eliminated.
• Health risks are reduced.
• In children in particular, a normal growth rate is restored.
• Abnormal weight loss is prevented.
• In people with coeliac disease, stable antibody values and intestinal mucosa are restored.

General benefits of a gluten-free diet

It is clear to people with reactions to gluten, whether they have coeliac condition or not, that they should opt for a gluten-free diet.

However, many people wonder whether a gluten-free diet can be equally beneficial, even if they do not suffer any kind of reaction to it.

Directly, opting for gluten-free foods does not offer a benefit over gluten-free foods.

However, the choice of gluten-free products and recipes often leads to a healthier diet, as many other products containing unnatural additives and preservatives are rejected.

In any case, the ideal is always to enjoy a healthy, balanced diet that is beneficial for the personal needs of the body.
