Why People Avoid Wheatberry
People avoid wheatberries primarily because they contain gluten, a protein found in wheat that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Consumption of gluten can lead to digestive issues, inflammation, and other symptoms in sensitive individuals. As a result, wheatberries are not suitable for a gluten-free diet.
