Are oats gluten free?
Oats are extremely budget friendly and are a highly nutritious grain. They are popular for breakfast or as an ingredient in baking, but are oats gluten free?
Pure oats don’t contain gluten, however most of the brands on offer today aren’t pure, and they may have been cross-contaminated with wheat or other ingredients containing gluten. If you are looking to avoid gluten then look for oats labelled as gluten free.
