What is Gluten?

Gluten is a composite protein found in grains-wheat, barley, rye, and triticale (cross between wheat & rye).  Oats are sometimes contaminated by the addition of small amounts of gluten.
Gluten gives elasticity to dough in breads, lots of baked goods, crackers, pasta.  It allows food to maintain its shape.
