Gluten-free products have entered the gastronomic market very quickly.
The high incidence of people with gluten intolerance created the need to manufacture and offer this type of product to the public.
Celiac disease consists of an intolerance to gluten, which is a protein that can be found mainly in cereals such as wheat, barley and rye. People with celiac disease who consume gluten-containing products suffer from bloating, pain, and so on.
If we think about it, there are many foods that contain these three cereals; In addition, it is about food that we use in our day to day. For example, bread, sweets and cakes, pasta ... This fact greatly limited this population group. Also, a few years ago, it was difficult to find gluten-free and affordable food. The first products that were offered in large stores had high prices, so not everyone could afford them.
The great need that arose in the population, made many companies start researching and manufacturing gluten-free foods. With more supply, the prices could be lower and thus, reach anyone.
Currently, the vast majority of products that we can find in a supermarket carry the "gluten-free" label on the outside. It has been a great advance for all of us, since everyone has the right to be able to buy food that does not cause any negative impact on their health.
