Gluten-Free Diet

Some 40% of people in the world still have digestive disorders. Healthy lifestyle trends are becoming increasingly popular, one of which is adopting a gluten-free diet.

Gluten is a type of protein commonly found in wheat, barley and rye. This protein binds like glue and gives bread, pasta and other baked goods their chewy texture. Gluten is also a type of FODMAP (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols), which is a type of carbohydrate that is difficult to digest and can cause digestive problems in some people. Especially for people with celiac disease, gluten can trigger an autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small intestine.

A gluten-free diet has a myriad of benefits, one of which can alleviate symptoms from digestive issues such as bloating, diarrhea, and more. In addition, this diet has a positive impact on eczema sufferers and helps obese people lose weight. However, often gluten-free products on the market are not equipped with enough nutrients so that ordinary people are still hesitant to try.

Ladang Lima, as one of the pioneering gluten-free food producers in Indonesia, sources all their products from cassava. Cassava that grows in fields across Indonesia is rich in fiber and nutrients and has long been consumed as a staple food by our ancestors. Once harvested,cassava is processed into Mocaf (Modified Cassava Flour) flour and transformed into ready-to-consume products such as cookies, pasta, noodles, premix flour, and so on.
