Listmates:
My post about kasha and its gluten-free status got a number of
responses that are of interest. Several responders loved
buckwheat/kasha and a few disliked it. Key points are summarized
below. When more information or a response is indicated I have
provided it flagged with an asterisk (**).
-one person reported a reaction to the Pocono Cream of Buckwheat and
raised questions about possible contamination with processing.
**For a description of the milling process and testing for gluten see
http://www.thebirkettmills.com/gluten/glutenfree_2003.htm They do
sell wheat products under the Birkett label. The products that are
listed as gluten-free. I sent them one e-mail query about possible
contamination issues, but as yet have not had a response. The
products that they list as gluten-free are as follows:
Larrowe's Instant Buckwheat Pancake Mix
Pocono Cream of Buckwheat
Pocono Light and Whole Buckwheat Flour
Wolff's Kasha
Wolff's Whole Buckwheat Groats
Another source of GF buckwheat: Creamy Buckwheat Cereal, Buckwheat
Flour, Kasha, and Buckwheat Groats is http://www.bobsredmill.com
-another person uses Pocono Cream of Buckwheat without problems. "To
make it more economical I mix one box with 1/2 bag (2-2.5 pounds) of
grits....I cook it in the microwave using milk and adding raisins."
**Since grits are often contaminated, I did ask this listmate about
the brand used. Brand name is Jim Dandy grits, made, or handled by,
http://www.marthawhite.com @ phone number 1-800-663-6317. Product
POP number is 13300 12407.
-several listmates requested my recipe for meatloaf.
**I substitute cooked kasha for the breadcrumbs in any recipe (I use
a slightly smaller amount) or wing it on my own. I will make
meatloaf soon and post the "recipe" then. In the meantime, The
Birkett Mills has a recipe for turkey meatballs using kasha--you
could make a turkey loaf too--or substitute beef for turkey.

-of interest: one listmate has a daughter named Casha, short for for
Casimira which is a Polish name.
