10/29 How much wheat gluten exists in pasta?
\_ I think "all of it"? If you're avoiding wheat gluten, you have
to avoid pasta and most bread products.
\- you can eat barley
\_ You could try soba noodles. I don't know if they have gluten
in them, but they might not. They are also high in protein.
\- soba is "OTAY" for non-glueten people.
\_ It's a wheat product so "a lot" -- Rice pasta is very good. Pasta
Pomodoro (in San Francisco) offers gluten free pasta dishes.
\- I dont know jack shit about cooking, but if you are interested
in this stuff, McGee: On Food and Cooking is "the standard".
That is where Mario Batali goes when he wants to analyze dough,
flour etc. It has ~20pages onf gluten, different flours etc.
I think I got my (new) copy cheep at Green Apple for <$20. --psb
\_ $26 and change with free shipping at Amazon, and thank you
