Do You Know?

The term ‘gluten’ is, in a sense, a generic term for the storage proteins that are found in grains, but in reality, each type of protein, for example, gliadin in wheat, secalin in rye, hordein in barley, avenin in oats, zein in corn and oryzenin in rice, is slightly different from the others. The ‘gluten’ in wheat, rye, barley, contains particular amino acid sequences that are harmful to persons with celiac disease.
