Veggie-based pastas will still be on-trend in 2023, but for those who can’t seem to let go of the grain, there’s another alternative we have to share. Beginning in the new year, get ready to make way for more gluten-free, grain-based pasta choices. What is gluten, and why is it bothersome? According to registered dietitian and doctor of integrative medicine Amy Burkhart, the gluten protein is found in items made with wheat, rye, or barley. When ingested, those specific grains can disrupt the digestive tract of someone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Whether you have a gluten intolerance, celiac disease, or wheat allergy, you have several pastas to choose from. When shopping for gluten-free pasta, look for brands that create their product with grains such as millet and sorghum. The two naturally gluten-free grains are capturing the attention of many consumers, according to BakeMag. Other brands have made their gluten-free pastas with grain legumes such as lentils and chickpeas, as per New York Magazine. So if the zoodles and spaghetti squash just aren’t cutting it, say goodbye to gluten in the year. Try enjoying a bowl of gluten-free pasta instead.
