Can buckwheat flour turn (greenish) black while fried?

Hi,

Sorry if this has been discussed before, no time to skim all topics right now.

Just fried this savory pie using (new brand of) buckwheat flour, tapioca & psyllium (plus baking soda) and it turned out a blackish color. Anyone has an idea why? Tasted it and no problem at all with its flavor, but still can't face eating the whole thing because of the way it looks - as if it had lead in it or sg :)

Pls help if you know the answer. Dark bits in the pic are NOT! nicely brown but black/green :(blackGFpie.webp.db02e9639e2dfe65a89fcf9f51704732.webp

I have never  fried with it.  Is it possible it’s something in the filling showing through or soaking into the crust?  

Sometimes with gluten-free coated & fries foods it helps to freeze it before frying.  You would have to make smaller pies that way.

Has since googled buckwheat galette images & got this https://www.seriouseats.com/2017/05/how-to-make-french-buckwheat-crepes.html & that https://theroaminggastrognome.com/2015/01/01/savory-buckwheat-crepe-breakfast-galette-complete/

I posted originally coz I never had this happen with any other brand of BW flour (all were whole grain, just like this new type). By the way, the one I'm using right now is def darker in color, maybe that also explains it a bit further. Anyway, this color is not too easy on my eyes to say the least :)

To reply the comment "Is it possible it’s something in the filling showing through or soaking into the crust?" - There's no filling in it, made from buckwheat flour, tapioca starch, psyllium husk plus baking soda and nothing else. Its a plain savory crepe.

I thought it was a little

pie filled with something.  I looked at pictures of fried things made with buckwheat flour and a few looked pretty dark.   Odd.

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.

      I am 73 years old and was diagnosed with Celiac disease, and started the gluten free diet 4 years ago.  This past spring,  I experienced sudden onset diarrhea, which was persistent for several weeks, before I had a colonoscopy.  I was told my colon looked normal, but the biopsy showed microscopic lymphocytic colitis.  I was asked at that time if I was still experiencing the diarrhea, and when I said yes, I was prescribed an 8 week course of Budesonide, which included the weaning off phase.  Budesonide is a steroid, but it is allegedly specific for the bowel, and has very few systemic side effects.  I must say, I experienced no side effects, except a couple little spots of persistent psoriasis...

      Thanks for sharing this! Talk about frustrating! It is complicated enough to try to keep track of which products are safe, but the concept of the same product sold at 2 different stores--one that is certified gluten-free and one that isn't--that is exactly why having celiac disease is still so difficult, and it is so easy to make mistakes!
