Wheat starch (gluten-free)
A highly refined, gluten-free wheat derivative with no known histamine activity in its processed form.
Wheat starch is the isolated starch component of wheat — the protein (gluten) and other compounds have been removed during processing.
-
No known histamine triggers — as a refined starch, it doesn't contain histamine and isn't associated with histamine liberation or enzyme interference
-
Different from whole wheat — whole wheat and fermented wheat products carry different considerations; this refined form is much simpler in its composition
It's worth checking product labels, since some processed foods using wheat starch include other added ingredients that may be less well-tolerated.
