Gluten-Free line of Martino Couscous

Couscous is one of those ingredients that are essential to every home. Its mild flavor makes it a versatile ingredient you can add to every recipe and create delicious dishes, desserts and healthy snacks for the whole family. 

Moreover, couscous is a healthy, low in calories and light alternative to most pasta and wheat products. It is low in fat, high in minerals like manganese, magnesium, and iron, plus it’s a good source of plant-based protein. On top of this, couscous wheat provides a very good dose of dietary fiber you need for digestive and heart health — over 25 percent of your daily needs in every one-cup serving! 

But what about celiacs? Is couscous suitable for the gluten intolerant? 

Besides its many health benefits, lovely mild flavor and versatility in cooking couscous do remain a grain that can deprive celiacs of enjoying this delicious ancient food. 

Martino However has come up with a whole Couscous line that is dedicated to the celiacs, people with gluten intolerance and all those who are avoiding gluten in their diet.

What is celiac disease?

Celiac disease (also referred to as celiac sprue, non-tropical sprue, and gluten-sensitive enteropathy) is a serious, genetic autoimmune disorder triggered by consuming a protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, and rye.

When a person with celiac disease eats gluten, the protein interferes with the absorption of nutrients from the food by damaging a part of the small intestine called villi. Damaged villi make it nearly impossible for the body to absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, leading to malnourishment and a host of other problems including some cancers, thyroid disease, osteoporosis, infertility and the onset of other autoimmune diseases. 

But what about everyone else? 

You do not have to suffer from celiac disease or be gluten sensitive to opt for a Gluten-free diet. In fact gluten free diets are becoming more and more popular these days and is not a surprise since there can be many benefits to it.
