How can you CALL this Buckwheat which is NOT wheat at all but your main ingredient is WHEAT?

Good question Allen but it's misdirected. I am a consumer like yourself. Perhaps you should contact the company?

Most soba in Japan is a combination of wheat and buckwheat. Pure buckwheat soba is referred to as jyuwari. So labeling soba buckwheat isn't intended to be misleading, it's just what they call it. If you want pure buckwheat, look for jyuwari or towari.

I agree - it's misleading. However the larger percentage of wheat makes them taste better - not so "grainy" as the 100% buckwheat noodles are. In any case, here's a link for some 100% buckwheat you can get on Amazon: King Soba Buckwheat Noodles:King Soba 100% Buckwheat Noodles (6 Packages)

Frustrating, isn't it? I've been searching like crazy for buckwheat noodles that don't actually contain wheat gluten myself. I have to think though that the product name is acceptable in the same way 'chocolate chip pancakes' or 'cinnamon rice chex' are acceptable names. They just mean that the ingredient is included. (Still a bummer though!)

I've been using Buckwheat for 20 + years... my last one was good for 10 years. I just replaced it cause i thought it was time.

I was bothered by the texture more than the taste. It's kind of mushy. I wouldn't purchase again. Don't know if you are interested in buckwheat pasta, but I like King Soba Gluten Free & Organic 100% Buckwheat Pasta Noodles. I cook them for 4-5 minutes with oil in water and drain and run cold water over them and they are delicious.

Yes with some reservations. If the wheat flour recipe calls for leaving, then buckwheat won't work because it is gluten free. Buckwheat is not really a wheat. It is a relative of rhubarb and completely distant from wheat flour. Since it has no gluten, it won't work with yeast to leaven bread. It also won't ferment to form any alcohol.It will work to make pancakes and waffles, biscuits and most other flour recipes that don't neat yeast to work. Won't make bread without adding flour.

Everything I read says ...yes, it is gluten free. But that only depends upon the facility if is processed in, if they also handle wheat products Here us a snippet from Celiac.com. Celiac.com 10/18/2013 - Buckwheat, sometimes referred to as kasha, is often billed as a "tasty alternative to wheat." That's all well and good, but is it really gluten-free, and generally considered safe to eat for those who suffer from celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity? The Facts Good news! With its non-wheat status, buckwheat is safely gluten-free. Buckwheat and wheat are, come to find out, actually from completely different botanical families. Derived from the seeds of a flowering plant, buckwheat is not considered a grain or a cereal (though it may be called a pseudo-cereal-don't let that scare you). Buckwheat, in all of its gluten-free glory, is actually closely related to rhubarb. In addition, it is an excellent source of fiber and nutrients. In particular, buckwheat groats (the small, triangular seeds), when cooked, offer 17 grams of dietary fiber or 68% of the daily requirement for a 2,000 calorie per day diet, as well as 22 grams of protein.

While many people think that buckwheat is a cereal grain, it is actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel making it a suitable substitute for grains for people who are sensitive to wheat or other grains that contain protein glutens.

I cannot answer with total accuracy since I stuffed some lavender blooms in the pillow casing upon receipt of the pillow. There is some dust but I think it is from the crushed lavender flowers rather than the buckwheat. FYI -- I have used buckwheat pillows for about 30 years and this one is the best one I have ever had.

Buckwheat, although the word wheat is in the name, is not in any way related to wheat, and therefore is gluten free. Buckwheat is actually related to sorrels, knotweeds, and rhubarb, and has been used in other countries (Japan, China, Europe, etc) for thousands of years, it was originally considered the quintessential peasant dish. Depending on how it is processed however, it may be exposed to gluten if the same machinery is used to process wheat. If you want to make absolutely sure, Bob's Mills sells the grouts, you could use them to grind your own flour.

No! There is barley in it. When I called to complain the guy on the phone told me "barley is not wheat and does not contain gluten". I told them they were a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Yes. I put it in my nutribullet , using the milling blade. It makes a light beige flour. I stay away from wheat, so I don't mix it with any other flour. Many buckwheat flour recipes have another flour in them, but I just mix it with baking soda and egg to make pancakes without mixing any other flour. It is gluten-free.

I didn't know there was a No GMO Buckwheat. I will have to look into that too.

it is gluten free and, looking at the label, there is no mention of wheat at all. It is largely tapioca and rice flour, partnered with xantham gum.
