Can you identify all the grains in this blend? Th Can you identify all the grains in this blend? This is a blend of oats, wheat, barley, rye, crimson clover, turnips, and rapeseed. It contains the gluten trio—wheat, barley, and rye. And it has the oats. Oats are a naturally gluten-free grain but they pose a risk for those with Celiac Disease because they can be contaminated with the gluten trio from growing, harvest, transport, storage, and processing. These grains have overlapping growing regions, growth season, and harvest season. And that’s what makes oats a high risk gluten-containing grain. To tell you the truth I can not tell the difference between any of the grains. Odds are if you work in this industry you are able to distinguish them. Yet the optical and mechanically sorting of these grains are still very controversial and difficult. And that’s why it’s important to make sure that you are either buying purity protocol oats (although not universally agreed upon term) and/or certified gluten-free oats. One exemption to this is the Gluten Free Quaker Oats that have adequate, transparent, and strong testing methods on their mechanically sorting protocols. ————————— #celiacsimplified
