Being gluten free is a trend that has been getting more and more popular recently.

What is gluten? It is a protein that is found mainly in wheat that provides elasticity to the dough. When you think about how many things are made with wheat flour, it already cuts out a lot of the normal everyday food a person might eat. Say goodbye to bread, most cereals, cookies, and pasta.

The following are 4 major reasons to just take the time and get your certification.

The one that shows you from the waist up, with good lighting, and highlights your best features. Why do we this?
