gluten
Wheat's stretchy component
Gluten is a protein found in wheat and related grains like barley and rye.
It gives dough its elasticity and helps bread rise and hold its shape.
People with celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten; it damages their intestines.
Gluten-free products have become widely available, though some who avoid gluten have no medical need to do so.
