Is buckwheat related to wheat?
No, despite the name. It is a seed rather than a cereal grain and contains no gluten.
How do I stop gluten-free pasta going gluey?
Plenty of water, stir it early, and taste a couple of minutes before the pack time. Rinsing briefly helps if you are serving it cold.
Is it suitable for coeliacs?
It is made from naturally gluten-free grains. Check the individual product page for the certified gluten-free statement.
Can I use the cooking water to thicken a sauce?
Less usefully than with wheat pasta — there is far less gluten in it. Thicken the sauce separately instead.
