Hopefully this guide helps with Gluten Free Diet
It’s important to double-check food labels when purchasing whole grains. Even gluten-free whole grains can be contaminated with gluten, especially if they are processed in the same facility as gluten-containing foods (3Trusted Source).

For example, oats are often processed in facilities that also process wheat, which can lead to cross-contamination. For this reason, you should confirm that the oats you purchase are certified gluten-free (4Trusted Source).

Brown rice
Wild rice
Buckwheat
Sorghum
Tapioca
Millet
Amaranth

Rye
Barley
Triticale
These gluten-containing grains are often used to make products like bread, crackers, pasta, cereals, baked goods and snack foods.

The Bottom Line
If you avoid gluten, there are plenty of foods you can choose from to ensure a well-balanced diet.

Many healthy foods are naturally gluten-free, including fruits, vegetables, fresh meat, fish and poultry, legumes, certain whole grains, dairy products and oils.

Wheat, rye and barley are the major foods that need to be avoided while following a gluten-free diet. Gluten is also commonly added to processed foods, such as canned and boxed items.

Furthermore, some grains, such as oats, may be cross-contaminated with gluten, depending on where they were processed.

Success with a gluten-free diet comes down to double-checking ingredient labels, as gluten is often added to foods that you wouldn’t expect. Foods that contain gluten will be labeled as such.

Nevertheless, if you focus on eating mostly fresh, whole, gluten-free foods and a minimal amount of processed foods, you will have no problem following a gluten-free diet.

I never said it was gluten free.

I have never doubled it - why not just make two at one time?

Thanks - I keep meaning to make this and forget to do so -

You are so welcome - the corn is good here in San Diego - time for me to re-try my own recipe, which always feels strange, to look up a recipe of one's own.

Thanks, AntoniaJames, it has become a family favorite here as well. Love your variations!

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for letting me know.

Happy to hear, as I dug it out and am on my second batch of it. Even though the corn isn't super here yet in San Diego, almost any fresh corn will do...

Sorry for the double post. Impatient clicking....

Thanks for making my day - I made it with salmon last weekend, the first batch of summer corn. All our guests seems to enjoy it and I routinely have a printed recipe to send home with them.
