To make a Purity Protocol claim, oats must be grown in designated gluten-free fields, harvested and processed on designated gluten-free equipment.
Gluten-Free Prairie sources only third-party certified gluten-free purity protocol oats, which is why Gluten-Free Prairie Oats can take your Gluten-Free diet to a whole new level.
The purity of our gluten-free oat products is our #1 priority on the Gluten-Free Prairie. We are completely committed to source ONLY pure Purity Protocol gluten-free oats from farmers following strict purity protocols. Gluten-Free Prairie is a Celiac Woman-Owned Business. I believe we are the only 100% Purity Protocol Oat based brand in the U.S., featuring an entire line of Purity Protocol products. With no co-packers or middlemen, we manufacturer everything in our 100% GF facility in a small town in Montana. See our product list: HERE
So, what are Purity Protocols and do they really matter? For Celiacs and those with severe gluten-intolerance… YES! they really matter! While we know that oats are naturally gluten-free, we also know they are often cross-contaminated in the field or during harvesting or processing. Some conventional oats can test up to 100 ppm of gluten! Some large manufacturers making a gluten-free claim believe they have achieved the 20 ppm threshold using a size and color sorting method. Beware! Some samples of these “sorted” oats have tested up to 90 ppm! Also, many Celiac’s (like me and my daughter) react to oats that test at 20 ppm. Our oats consistently test out at 5ppm.
Why did our Gluten-Free Prairie family decide to center our entire small business around Purity-Prococol Gluten-Free Oats? The health benefits of oats are well documented. See my: “Ageless Benefits of Oats” essay HERE.
And as a Celiac myself, nutrition is very important to me. I believe that oats are among the most nutritious of all cereal grains, making them the perfect addition to any diet, especially a gluten-free diet. Pure Gluten-Free Prairie oats are also high in protein, fiber and B Vitamins, which are often missing in a gluten-free diet.
And what about Glyphosate? A pesticide also known as RoundUp. Is it used on Gluten-Free Prairie Oats? The answer is “NO!” Please learn more HERE.
Our goal is to provide gluten-free and mainstream consumers with healthy field to fork Purity Protocol Oat-Based products
