Today, we’re going to be looking at the top gluten-free gnocchi brands. It’s an Italian dish that has become a favorite in the Western world, but can it be eaten when following a gluten-free diet? First, let’s take a look at the ingredients, and then we can determine whether it’s safe for us to consume.

What Is Gnocchi?

You’ll probably already be familiar with gnocchi, particularly if you like Italian food. Gnocchi is a type of dumpling, that originates in Italy. They are small balls of dough filled with potato and other flavorings. You often eat gnocchi with a sauce or dressing, or sometimes just something like oil or butter. They have a mash-potato-like texture inside, which makes for quite an acquired taste, as some people don’t like its soft inside.

Ingredients In Gnocchi

Depending on where you purchase your gnocchi, the ingredients will vary from brand to brand, but the most common ingredients across all varieties of gnocchi are:

• Flour
• Potatoes
• Egg
• Cheese
