All the No Grain Bread types by Puretaste.cz are naturally free of gluten and dairy. The ingredients used to make them are fresh eggs, nuts, seeds, apple or bamboo fibre and, in case of the “sweet” kinds, also sulphur-free dried fruits.
In our workshop we do not use any kind of grains or other ingredients containing gluten, therefore, there is no risk of unintentional gluten contamination. Nuts and seeds used to make our bread are gluten-free certified.
Our motivation to avoid grains, or gluten, has various reasons.
Wheat is over-cultivated with an aim to reach the highest possible gluten contents so that the resulting bread is “fluffy”, also to increase parasite resistance, yield per sqm of field and mould resistance. It is probably no secret that it causes digestion issues to a lot of people.
Gluten-free bread, in case it is sourdough from naturally gluten-free grains, also presents a good alternative, but it is not as simple as rye bread, because it is rather difficult to bake such bread in high quantity while keeping the standard quality. Even though there already are some types of gluten-free sourdough bread available on the market, they usually contain some additives and starches.
In classic industrial production, gluten-free bread resembles more of a chemical cocktail. It is quite surprising that someone suffering from intestinal disease would be offered such product containing mainly starches and sugar and often even wheat with removed gluten (i.e. deproteinized), but even such wheat has been linked to immune system activation and presence of markers of the so-called leaky gut.
Then there is also the topic of dining culture and overuse of bread. If we had moderate consumption of bread, especially of high-quality bread, we would probably not have reached a situation when we need to exclude it altogether. We understand that the current busy times support the fast food and quick snack philosophy using bread as its basis, nevertheless, there are other options.
Our No Grain Bread should be used to make the above-mentioned mainly vegetable-based diet more varied; it should not replace classic bread to keep the “bread 5 times a day” mode. On the other hand, we know that after two or three years completely without bread, one gets to miss what he had been used to for his entire life and he sometimes craves to have a slice of bread. Our “bread” is there for you and we will be glad if you take it for pleasure.
