OSU Extension
Gluten Free
Eating Series
Diane Barga, Extension Educator
Gluten Free Eating Curriculum consists of three, one hour
lessons. Each of the three lessons covers different aspects of
gluten free eating and includes activities and recipe suggestions for
tastings or food demonstrations. Each lesson includes handouts
for participants to use as a reference and hands-on activities. A
three week series will be held at OSU Extension Learning Center on
August 30th, September 5 and 12, 2018 from 6:00-7:00pm. The cost
for the three week series is $10.00.
About twenty percent of the U.S. population is looking to reduce or
eliminate gluten from their diet. For people who make the
decision to eat gluten free as a matter of dietary choice and not a
medical necessity, there are many important considerations. As a
result of the program, participants will gain insight into the
considerations involved in gluten free eating. Participants will
increase their knowledge about gluten free shopping, dining, cooking
and baking.
The program was developed so that participants will increase knowledge
of:
Foods that contain gluten
Potential sources of hidden gluten
Potential sources of cross contact
Precautions to take when dining out
How gluten free flours work differently than wheat flour
How to read food labels for gluten ingredients
How to adapt recipes to make them gluten free
