Hi there,

I've heard that buckwheat and millet although gluten free are high in oxalates which aren't good for you- does the fermenting process lower the oxalate contents of buckwheat and millet?

Thanks

Hi Alice,

Thank you for asking.
It is a very technical question. I have not been able to find enough information to form an opinion, and I do not have an adequate technical background to provide an informed opinion. I have found the following article that suggests fermentation may assist in reducing the level of oxalates:

Other information I have read suggests most flour used in GF baking may have issues for people with oxalate sensitivity, this includes arrowroot, bean and pulse flours.

If oxalates are an issue for you please consult your doctor, health care professional or dietician.

Kind regards,

Chris

    When I had to go gluten free I was disappointed at the taste and texture of gluten free baked foods that were available. Packet mixes were very disappointing. So I started to develop recipes that are good to eat.
    There was so much to learn along the way. Eventually I made progress with bread that looked, felt, smelled and tasted like real bread!  From there I have been exploring and learning more about basic gluten free ingredients to make a range of bread, pastry and pasta!
