Gluten-free hot dog

Gluten-free hot dog is an adapted version of the classic hot dog, specially designed for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. It consists of a sausage made with gluten-free ingredients, accompanied by equally gluten-free bread, ensuring a safe option for those who must avoid this protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.

The origin of the hot dog dates back to the United States, where it became popular in the late 19th century as a quick and convenient food. The gluten-free variant emerged in response to the growing demand for products suitable for special diets, combining the tradition of this preparation with the need for a gluten-free diet.

Among its notable properties, the gluten-free hot dog offers a protein-rich and energizing option, ideal for quick meals or informal events. Furthermore, as it is made with alternative flours such as corn, rice, or legumes, it can provide different fibers and nutrients compared to traditional wheat, depending on the specific recipe.

In Latin America, the term gluten-free hot dog is often used directly, although in some countries it is also called gluten-free hot dog or gluten-free pancho, with "pancho" being a common synonym in countries like Chile and Argentina to refer to a hot dog.
