Rye is a grain with a nutty aroma, often used to make bread and whiskey. Rye contains gluten and should not be used in a gluten-free diet.1. What foods is rye in?
The gluten-free diet is making people careful in their food choices, especially foods derived from wheat and barley.
Rye is a plant closely related to wheat and barley. It is commonly used in the production of baked goods, some beers, and animal feeds.
2. Rye and its relationship to gluten-induced body disorders
Gluten-containing foods cause illness in some people, including celiac disease (gluten intolerance), gluten sensitivity, gluten ataxia, and wheat allergy. In people with these conditions, if they continue to eat gluten-containing foods, serious health complications can occur.

3. Rye in baked goods
Rye flour is most commonly used in a variety of baked goods, such as breads, rolls, cookies, even pasta.
When baking with rye flour, manufacturers often add other traditional flours to balance the flavor and lighten the finished product, since rye is usually quite heavy.
Alternatively, rye can be cooked and eaten in the same way as wheat. However, they are slightly acrid and have a nutty smell. Rye is low in gluten but should be avoided while on a gluten-free diet.
4. Rye in alcoholic beverages
Alcoholic beverages are another product created from rye. The most common is whiskey, some beers also contain it. Rye whiskey is almost gluten-free, and almost none in beer. This is explained by the fact that in the distillation process, gluten is removed.
Although the majority of beers and wines made from rye are gluten-free, manufacturers should not label them gluten-free. A very small amount of residual gluten can also cause reactions in people who are highly sensitive to gluten. If you are one of these people, be careful when drinking whiskey.

Currently, several companies have produced gluten-free rye bread, which provides the same taste as traditional bread. You should take the time to research these companies to buy from. With alternatives, a gluten-free diet is less of a nuisance and more of a pleasure.
