Birkel Glutenfrei
Birkel gluten-free pasta made from corn flour, rice flour and potato starch, without durum wheat: Penne and Hörnchen.
Birkel Glutenfrei is the gluten-free pasta range of the German brand Birkel. It is made without durum wheat. According to the product page for Hörnchen, the ingredients are corn flour (60%), rice flour (24.5%), potato starch (15%) and an emulsifier, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. Corn gives the pasta its yellow colour, rice and potato starch help it hold together without gluten.
The range has two shapes: penne and Hörnchen (small elbows similar to macaroni). Hörnchen are al dente after about 6 minutes in lightly salted boiling water. Gluten-free pasta overcooks more easily than wheat pasta, so it is best to keep to the time on the pack.
The range is intended for people with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance and for anyone avoiding wheat. It belongs to pasta from other flours and gluten-free pasta.
