5. Grains: Some grains are naturally gluten-free, such as rice, quinoa, corn, and buckwheat. You can also find gluten-free alternatives to wheat flour, such as almond flour, coconut flour, or chickpea flour.

6. Legumes: Beans, lentils, and peas are all naturally gluten-free and can be used as a source of protein in gluten-free recipes.

Additionally, some products may be cross-contaminated with gluten during manufacturing, so it's important to look for products that are specifically labeled as "gluten-free" to ensure they are safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
