There are a number of grains that are inherently gluten-free. However, when you want to be assured that your products are gluten-free, please ask for our certified gluten-free products.
Buckwheat:
Buckwheat is a short season crop that does well on low-fertility or acidic soils. It is a suitable substitute for grains for people who are sensitive to wheat or other grains that contain gluten proteins. Buckwheat’s nutrients, nutty flavor and appearance have led to its ready adoption into the family of grains.
Buckwheat is available in groats and flours.
Millet:
In the US, millet is rarely served to humans and is more commonly found in bird feeders. In India, it is a primary grain and is common in Russia, China and South America. It is a very small grain and is either white, yellow or red. It has a mild flavor and most often is mixed with other grain in a multi-grain blend.
Millet is available whole, hulled and in flours.
Sorghum: (Milo
Sorghum, also called milo, was believed to originate in Africa. Sorghum thrives where other crops would not flourish due to low moisture. Worldwide, about 50% of sorghum goes to human consumption, but in the US, most of the crop is fed to animals. Sorghum is also gluten free making it popular with those with celiac desease.
Sorghum is available whole and in flours.
