is jau gluten free - #24551
I am really confused about whether jau is gluten free or not. I started looking into gluten free options because my friend was told she has gluten intolerance, and she mentioned jau as a possible option for her diet. I've never tried jau before, but I’ve heard it has some health benefits and is kind of unique. Last week, I bought some jau flour thinking it could be a great alternative for making rotis, but now I'm second-guessing myself! 🤔 I read somewhere that jau is actually a kind of barley, but then I saw another post saying it's processed in a way that eliminates gluten? Like, is jau gluten free or just a little? I kinda need to know because I can’t risk making my friend sick. Have you guys used jau for recipes? Do you think it’s safe for gluten-free cooking or should I stick to other options? Any tips on how to cook with jau would also help! Thanks!
