In a gluten-free diet, the use of cereal products can easily be negligible, which may also result in insufficient fibre intake. Whole grain plays a key role as a source of dietary fibre. It is therefore also good for those who follow a gluten-free diet to pay attention to the choice of cereal products.
High fibre content and good taste
High fibre oats are nutritionally versatile grains and a good choice of fibre source. In addition to fibre, oats contain more protein and unsaturated fat than other cereals. Products containing full grain also contain group B vitamins, iron, magnesium and zinc. In addition to the nutritional benefits, oats also give the products good taste and structure. See the table below for the differences between different fibre sources!
Elovena Gluten free products are rich in whole grain oats and fibre and do not contain any wheat starch. For example, even one Oat-Carrot bun can provide about 20% of the daily fibre intake. The recommended daily fibre intake is 25–35g. Check out the products here!
