Best Answer

Pure buckwheat (that has not been contaminated) is gluten and wheat free.

Most buckwheat baking, bread and pancake mixes contain wheat flour. Always check labels and if they are not clear, check with the manufacturer.

Does buckwheat have gluten?

No. Buckwheat is not a real wheat, it is more like a sunflower seed. Buckwheat flour does not contain gluten unless gluten is added or the flour is blended with other types of flour. The lack of gluten makes it harder to work with compared to wheat flours. Check the packaging label to be sure of what you are buying.

If a recipe is gluten free is it wheat free?

Since wheat does contain gluten, you would think so. However, researchers have been developing gluten-free wheat for gluten-free diets, so there is the rare case where you can have something that is gluten free but DOES contain wheat. In the USA, this wheat would be labeled on the package. And of course, a wheat-free recipe is not necessarily gluten-free, since there exist other sources of gluten besides wheat.


Can a wheat free diet eat oats?

If you have a wheat allergy you can eat Oats that are specifically labeled GLUTEN FREE. You SHOULD NOT eat oats that are NOT specifically labeled "gluten free" as these oats contain wheat. This is because oats that are not gluten free use the same equipment to be processed as is used on wheat. Gluten free oats only use equipment for processing that NEVER touches wheat. Therefore they are safe to eat and are not contaminated with wheat.
