Does Lipton green tea have gluten?

Answer 1

"Yes, most things with artificial flavoring have gluten. Also, most tea bags have gluten in them." Not even close to true. I have celiac disease and I have only ever found one type of tea with gluten in it. As for Lipton teas, all herbal and iced tea mixes are GF as far as I know. You can call Lipton at 1-888-547-8668 or go to their website to be certain.

Answer 2

No tea - be it green, orthodox, oolong, orange pekoe, etc. - has gluten. Gluten is the protein which is formed when wheat flour is made into a dough. There are 2 forms of gluten proteins naturally present in wheat, triticale and a few other related grains - glutelin and gliadinin. When water is added to wheat flour and mixed, these two proteins for gluten which gives the desired texture of breads, cakes, wheat based pastries and other baked goods.

On the other hand, all tea, fermented, non-fermented, white, black, green, etc. have good amount of antioxidants which play vital role iin cleansing the body of harmful free radicals. In addition to that, tea also contains a compound theine, which acts as a natiural stimulant. So, go and enjoy your cuppa and to derive max benefit out of tea, chuck those tea bags, buy leaf tea. Boil water, soak tea leaves for not more than 3-4 minutes, strain the liquor and drink to your health - sans milk and sugar.
