What is the difference between your regular and gluten-free oat flour?
- To start all Oats are gluten-free. The difference between the regular and gluten-free oat flour is simple the extra level of precautions from cross-contamination. Unless you are extremely intolerant to gluten you will never notice the difference. That is because although oats themselves don't contain gluten, they're often grown alongside other crops. The same equipment is typically used to harvest crops in neighboring fields, which leads a possibility of cross-contamination if one of those crops contains gluten.
