In the past decades, food products and beverages made from gluten-free cereals were initially created for certain groups of people who experience gluten-related disorders such as wheat allergies, gluten ataxia, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and the most well-known, celiac disease. Nowadays, the consumption of gluten-free products is not only restricted to targeted groups, but it has become a food trend for normal consumers, especially in countries such as the UK, the US, and some European countries, who believe that consuming a gluten-free product is a healthier choice compared to normal gluten-containing products. However, some research studies have disapproved of this claim because the currently available gluten-free products in the market are generally known to be lower in proteins, vitamins, and minerals and to contain higher lipids, sugar, and salt compared to their gluten-containing counterparts. The use of other gluten-free cereals such as sorghum, millet, and teff as well as pseudo cereals such as buckwheat and quinoa has gained significant interest in research in terms of their various potential health benefits. Hence, this review highlights the potential health benefits of some gluten-free cereals and pseudo cereals apart from corn and rice in the last decade. The potential health benefits of gluten-free products such as bread, pasta, crackers, and cookies and the health benefits of some other non-alcoholic beverages made from gluten-free cereals and pseudo cereals are reported.
在过去几十年里，由无麸质谷物制成的食品和饮料最初是为某些患有麸质相关疾病的人群生产的，比如小麦过敏、麸质共济失调、非腹腔疾病性麸质敏感，以及最广为人知的腹腔疾病患者。如今，无麸质产品的消费不仅限于特定人群，还成为了普通消费者的一种饮食潮流，尤其是在英国、美国和一些欧洲国家，这些国家的消费者认为，与普通含麸质产品相比，食用无麸质产品是更健康的选择。然而，一些研究并不认同这一观点，因为目前市场上的无麸质产品普遍被认为蛋白质、维生素和矿物质含量较低，与含麸质产品相比，其脂质、糖和盐的含量更高。高粱、小米、画眉草等其他无麸质谷物以及荞麦和藜麦等假谷物，因其各种潜在的健康益处而在研究中引起了极大关注。因此，本综述着重介绍了过去十年中除玉米和大米外的一些无麸质谷物和假谷物的潜在健康益处。文中报告了无麸质产品（如面包、意大利面、饼干和曲奇）的潜在健康益处，以及一些由无麸质谷物和假谷物制成的其他非酒精饮料的健康益处。
