bebas gluten
The English phrase "gluten free" is translated into Balinese as bebas gluten.
bebas gluten is used to describe food or products that do not contain the protein gluten.
Did you know?
- The word bebas also means 'free' in the sense of 'liberated' or 'released from prison'.
- The term 'gluten' is a borrowed word from English and Indonesian, as there is no native Balinese word for this specific Western protein.
- While bebas gluten is understood in modern contexts, traditional Balinese cuisine is naturally almost entirely gluten-free, relying primarily on rice and tubers.
Examples in context
- Sanganan niki bebas gluten.This snack is gluten free.
- Tiang ngerereh ajengan sane bebas gluten.I am looking for food that is gluten free.
