Wheat Starch and the Vegetarian Diet
Wheat starch is a refined carbohydrate extracted from wheat grains and primarily used as a thickener, stabilizer, or gelling agent in various food products. During its manufacturing process, the gluten content is reduced, but trace amounts may still remain, which is why it is important for individuals with gluten sensitivity to look for products specifically labeled as 'gluten-free.'
