Buckwheat is not wheat even though the name does seem to imply that it is a wheat grain.
Buckwheat seems to be a lot better for your hormones and produces "Good Estrogen" which is needed for good health.
By the way, make sure when purchasing buckwheat noodles that no wheat was added.
I'm seeing more and more sprouted buckwheat showing up in raw dehydrated foods, so be on the lookout for this interesting gluten free choice!
Gluten Free Oats or Pure Oats
When oats are grown and produced in an environment where no cross-contamination occurs, they are considered gluten-free or pure.
Pure oats are only available from certified gluten free companies and will be marked "Gluten Free" on their packaging.
Cross-contamination is one of the major reasons why most commercial oats are considered unsafe for the gluten intolerant or celiacs.
Oat and Wheat proteins have similarities that could create digestive problems, but the major problem is that these grains are usually grown next to each other in the fields and processed in the same processing plants.
This is fast becoming one of my favorite grains and its actually quicker to cook than rice. It has a light feel to it and gives you a good amount of nutrition as well.
Makes a great replacement for couscous and can be used in salads that call for a gluten free replacement.
