Thanks Jerry, They were very nice to.

They look nice, so thanks for flagging them up.

Buckwheat is apparently related to rhubarb, so yes, gluten free.

[corsaUMM in reply to Ansteynomad]

well buckwheat and rhubarb eh!!!!!

I was getting Fed up of rice cakes, my friend calls them 'polysytrene tiles'

Kalo do lots of different sorts. I have some with sesame seeds and others with blueberry and vanilla flavour. I also got some with a marmite type flavour last year. I do like a bit of variety too.

[corsaUMM in reply to Danslatete]

Thanks must look for the different flavour, blueberry and vanilla sound scrumptious.

I use buckwheat flour to make all sorts of things from cakes to crepes to American pancakes - must admit that in the UK it can be very very expensive I have seen it in Tesco at £17,50 a kilo but they sell it in Morrison's for about £2 a kilo - personally I buy it in France it's Sarracin there and it's what they make their galettes out of - we went to Kent show last year and there was a stall selling them, they made sure that mine were totally gluten free with no cross contamination - and they were superb

Thank you for the info. Or local whole food co-op, Daily Bread sells buck wheat flour, but it is often out of stock. Will try Morrison's. And gallettes in France ! Thanks.

I shop every week in Morrison's & have never spotted it - I buy mine online. Which section of the store is it in, please, I'll have to look better next time?!

[makzine]

it's with the normal flours in our store but it would be worth asking someone - I always wipe the packet down when I get it just in case

[corsaUMM]

Must look for this buckwheat bet it would make a nice crumble topping.

Make sure the flour you buy says it is gluten free. For example, not all DoveFarm flour is guaranteed to be gluten free. I buy the brand Big Oz. The price has gone up a lot over the last year because of problems with harvests and bad weather.
