Is gluten kosher?

Gluten per se is not non-kosher. The only question is where the gluten came from. Unprocessed wheat kernels (for example) are not non-kosher; but processed foods containing gluten, such as cookies, crackers, pastas, breads etc., need a certification of kosher-supervision if they are to be eaten by Jews who keep kosher. This need stems not from the wheat or the gluten, but from other ingredients which may have either kosher or non-kosher sources.
