Why it works
- Celiac disease: Rice, tofu, and explicitly gluten-free tamari keep wheat, barley, and rye out.
- Gluten-free: Certified gluten-free rice flour and gluten-free tamari season the rice bowl.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
