Guest guest Posted November 15, 2000 Report Share Posted November 15, 2000 Belinda, Buckwheat is a great grain alternative. Cooked with a little egg as "kasha" it makes a good, savory breakfast. I've read that it's very beneficial for hypertensives but can be irritating to the stomach. Skipping three days in between meals with this grass/grain is a good idea. I'll look forward to your recipes. I haven't but the one. Melinda in Montana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2000 Report Share Posted November 16, 2000 Hi Belinda and welcome, I used to eat a lot of buckwheat especially for breakfast but since this diet I now eat protein at breakfast. I also used buckwheat in cakes, etc but the family didn't like it because of it's strong taste and I don't eat cakes. I personally prefer millet to buckwheat. Looking forward to the receipes.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Buckwheat greens are one of the staple foods of the hippocrates diet developed by anne wigmore, which is probably the healthiest diet on the planet--if you cook the sprouts you kill most of the vital enzymes that make them so special. but to cook any sprout i would think just a gentle steaming would do for you. Kasha is the basic buckwheat groat toasted and then soaked and cooked like an oatmeal--but it isnt sprouted. best of luck! and keep smiling!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 I eat them raw and they're quite good. I've never heard that you can't eat them raw. According to my sprout wheel from the Sprout Man, they're used for salads and juicing and he ought to know. >Hi Guys, >Could anyone tell me how to cook buckwheat sprouts please. >I read on another sight that you can't eat them raw. >Thank you for your time. >Coco1963au > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 correct ..it is a member of rhubarb family...but it has Carb characteristics very similar to grains ...so not too hard to work out it isnt a Candidias friendly first choice. Potatoes arent a member of the grain family either ... Although fwiw apparently re Buckwheat , this has better prebiotic characteristics than the grains in general (according to a recent health update article I read)..still has to be classed as high carb though imo..fwiw RE: buckwheat I remember someone saying on here that buckwheat is a grain, but I have a packet of buckwheat pancakes my mum bought for me because they don’t have sugar or yeast, and it says that buckwheat ‘is not a grain but part of the rhubarb family of plants’ -???

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Heidi: We currently have half of our market garden covered in buckwheat. We learned the hard way that once you seed it, you have to drag over it to mix it up in the dirt. For some time the only spouts were in footprints and seeder wheel tracks..*L* Anyway...so far so good! Marie Buckwheat As an experiment, I bought a big bag of buckwheat (animal feed type). I sprouted some and then roasted it in a 250 oven. Then put it through the blender. I added about 1/4 cup of that to my white flour (rice, potato, tapioca) bread. Wow! It makes the bread somewhat heavier, nutty tasting ... kind of like whole grain bread only better! The buckwheat itself has a very hard shell ... I think for normal eating you need to buy the " groats " which they sell at the market (no shell). Once it is roasted though, the shell gets crispy and they are pretty tastey, but the shell kind of gets stuck in your throat sometimes. Ground up though, they make a nice additive! My original idea is try try making malt from them. The sproated roasted buckwheat does NOT taste like malt, but it is very toasty and I think would make a fine beer taste. I don't know if it is sweet enough to grow yeast in tho ... that's another experiment ... Also you can plant them as a cover crop, which I'm going to try next. -- Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not completely harmless because it is high in carbs. The same with making muffins using almond flour. You will do better if you cut them out initially until you've gotten through the candida program to the point you are adding probiotics, when you do not have 'die-off' symptoms. If you do have them only have 1/4 cup per day. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I really needed to add just these two little pancakes with my eggs in the morning. ==>It might be too soon to add buckwheat my friend. Sorry I believe you are way too sick too handle it at this time. It is very high in carbs and will feed the candida. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll put on my thinking cap and see if I can come up with some general guidelines - only after I get my new website up and running however. I'm swamped right now.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Buckwheat is technically a fruit, unrelated to wheat. The name is misleading. I'm sorry I don't have time to pull up a source right now, but you easily can by googling buckwheat gluten and reading some of the results. Celiac.com is one place that explains this. H.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Buckwheat pancakes can be in your future. Just be careful to avoid mixes that include gluten sources, such as wheat, rye, barley, or oats. You can make your own pancake mix very easily, keeping extra dry mix for future use. H.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 About Buckwheat; Van's has frozen gluten-free waffles in a few varieties. One is a buckwheat waffle with berries. They're really delicious. In fact, it was the first GF food I tried and enjoyed! I don't know how hard they are to find, but I got them at Whole Foods Market. I get them once in awhile for a nice treat. I've also seen buckwheat recipes in GF cookbooks, both for breakfast recipes and other uses, so it's quite possible.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi, It is definitely gluten free in its pure form. I use buckwheat flour to bake muffins and loaves all the time. It's really great. Bags of the flour are sold at Whole Foods, and if you're not worried about contamination you can get it in bulk at a lot of the stores.
