Is Buckwheat Gluten-Free?

Is buckwheat gluten-free? The name sounds dangerous, doesn't it? But don't worry—buckwheat does not contain wheat, just like root beer doesn't contain beer and strawberries aren't made out of straw.

In fact, buckwheat isn't even a grain. It's a flowering plant in the rhubarb family and is completely gluten-free. The confusion comes from the "wheat" in its name.

What is Buckwheat Used For?

Buckwheat is valued for its high fiber content and unique flavor. It's used in various cuisines around the world:

Eastern Europe: Known as kasha, it is a staple food.

France: Used to make galettes, a type of savory crepe.

Japan: Used to make soba noodles.

A Note on Soba Noodles

While buckwheat itself is gluten-free, finding 100% buckwheat soba noodles can be tricky. Many soba noodles are mixed with regular wheat to improve flexibility and reduce costs. Always check the packaging to ensure they are made from 100% buckwheat if you need them to be gluten-free.

Buckwheat is a versatile and nutritious ingredient that's safe for those on a gluten-free diet. Don't let the name fool you—it's a wonderful addition to your gluten-free pantry!
