<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Everyone, Vance asked if buckwheat was okay for Celiacs as someone was making malt from buckwheat for beer. Buckwheat is not related to wheat or grains at all. It is actually a fruit, more related to rhubarb. It is a dicot like beans and peas. The only problem comes from if you are allergic to it (not a gluten reaction) or it you buy it from a contaminated source. I buy my buckwheat flour, groats and cereal from Birkett Mills in NY 1-315-536-3311 as this is a noncontaminated source. I love their Cream of Buckwheat cereal and buckwheat groats. I received this information from Ann Whelan's Gluten Free Living Newsletter which is an excellent, well referenced source for Celiacs. Barb from NE OH
