Alright, so you wanna know about this “gluten free” thing, huh? And in Marathi, no less? Well, let me tell ya, it ain’t as fancy as it sounds. It just means no wheat, that’s all. You know, the stuff we make roti from? Yeah, that.
I heard some city folks talking about it. They say it’s a “diet,” this “gluten-free diet.” Sounds like something them skinny movie stars do, always fussin’ over what they eat. But it ain’t just for them, you see. Some folks, they get sick from eatin’ wheat. Real sick, like their stomachs hurt somethin’ awful.
So, what is this “gluten” anyways? Well, them smart doctors, they say it’s a kind of… uh… “protein,” I think they called it. Found in wheat, and some other grains too. Barley, rye… sounds like somethin’ you’d feed a horse, not a person! But hey, what do I know?
- Wheat is a no-no.
- Rye, barley… them too.
- Basically, if it’s a grain and makes bread fluffy, it probably got gluten.
Now, in Marathi, they call it “gluṭen-mukt.” “Mukt” means free, you see? So, “gluṭen-mukt aahar” means food without gluten. Simple as that. The doctors, they tell some folks to eat this way, this “gluṭen-mukt aahar.” They say it helps with all sorts of problems. Stomachaches, feeling tired all the time… all sorts of things.
So, what can you eat if you’re goin’ “gluten-free”? Well, lots of things, actually! Rice is good. Veggies are good. Meat, eggs… all that stuff is fine. Even some fancy folks make “gluten-free” bread and pasta now, though I don’t know why you’d bother. Rice is good enough for me!
It’s funny, you know? Back in my day, we ate what we had. Wheat, rice, whatever grew in the fields. Nobody talked about no “gluten.” But times change, I guess. Now everyone’s got a special diet. Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s not. But if the doctor tells you to go “gluten-free,” then you best listen. Your health ain’t nothin’ to mess with.
And don’t go thinkin’ it’s just some new fad. People have been gettin’ sick from wheat for a long time. They just didn’t know what to call it back then. Now they got a name for it: “gluten intolerance” or somethin’ like that. Sounds fancy, but it just means your belly don’t like wheat.
So, if you see somethin’ labeled “gluten-free” in the market, now you know what it means. It means no wheat, no barley, no rye. Just plain, simple food. And if you gotta eat that way, well, don’t you worry. There’s plenty of good food you can still enjoy. Don’t let anyone tell you different!
I remember my neighbor’s daughter, she was always so tired and had a bad tummy ache, poor thing. The doctor told her to stop eating wheat. And you know what? She got better! Started bouncing around like a little lamb again. So this “gluten-free” thing, it ain’t just some city-folk nonsense. It can really help some folks feel better.
So that’s the long and short of it. Gluten free in Marathi means “gluṭen-mukt.” It just means no wheat. And it’s important for some people’s health. Now, don’t you go worryin’ your head about it too much. Just eat your good food and be happy. And if you gotta go gluten-free, well, you just do it. There’s plenty of other good stuff to eat.
And don’t let them fancy folks in the city fool ya, most of our food in the village is naturally gluten-free anyway. We eat a lot of rice, vegetables, and lentils. It’s those city people who eat too much bread and processed foods, that’s what I think! We eat real food, food that comes from the earth, not from some factory.
