Gluten free - rinsing all beans

[Guest guest]

This paragraph below was posted on an allergy listserv - Flour traces on

beans. . .

Have others that need to be gluten free found instances like this. . I

don't recall hearing of the need to rinse beans - but it makes perfect sense.

I recall (as a farm-kid) that we used the same equipment to harvest the

soybeans that was used to harvest the wheat, barley and rye.

I'd assume that if a grain wasn't specifically handled and harvested to be

gluten free, most any grain or seed might contain traces of wheat flour

and should be rinsed off.

It's not worth cheating. I didn't wash the lentils well recently,

definitely had gluten in it - took me 3 days to recover from the effects - not

worth

it.... Being emotional can easily make us cheat, so for me, I keep fast gf

food around to grab instead. For instance, cheese, I love cheese but I'm

allergic to it, so I have gf cookies or crackers, also I found gf turkey

pastrami that I'll snack on when I need somet
