Torrified Buckwheat

[donizee]

I see RebelBrewer has torrified buckwheat and was wondering if anyone has used it? I'll email them to see if they know whether it's gluten free or not.

OOOOH TAY!
Rebel responded saying they didn't know if it was GF and didn't have a way to find out.
Oh, well. The thought was nice of having malted GF grains readily available. .........

I would venture to guess that torrified buckwheat is like oats.

Oats are naturally Gluten Free, but unless certified GF, it is processed on non-GF machinery, etc. and there is a potential for cross-over contamination at the factory.

I just noticed the torrified buckwheat at Rebel too. This may be a dumb question, but is torrified mean it is malted? I was going to try my hand at malting buckwheat (3-4 pounds of it) for my Buh' Wheet Porter, but maybe this is an option??? Oh, and if anyone has a higher resolution version of that photo above, please email me!

Torrified doesn't mean malted. It is pregelatinized.

If you go to the Briess website, they have a discussion of torrified wheat and the process involved.
