Kulapavana Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 As far as I know, sunflower seeds are allowed on Ekadasi, so is sunflower oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Always read the list of ingredients. Some have corn oil and vegetable oil mixed in. These u should not use on ekadasi's. Use pure sunflower oil on ekadasi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 As a new employee of a healthfood enterprize, I have learned that Buckwheat is made from rhubarb, not grains. Is anyone more sure on this, can buckwheat pancakes be eaten on ekadasi? mahak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kulapavana Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 LOL! buckwheat certainly does not come from rhubarb! aaah the tales citi folks believe... buckwheat comes from a pretty little buckwheat plant, which is not in any way related to grains (grasses). we grow it here in Prabhupada Village /images/graemlins/smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gHari Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Buckwhea is otay. From American Heritage Dictionary: 1. An annual Asian plant (Fagopyrum esculentum) having clusters of small whitish or pinkish flowers and small, seedlike, triangular fruits. 2. The edible fruits of this plant, used either whole or ground into flour. O-TAY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulapavana Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 most Vaishnavas consider buckwheat to be permissible as an Ekadasi food. but some see it as so similar in nature to grains that they fast from it. incidentaly, I did not say that buckwheat was NOT o-tay /images/graemlins/wink.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Thanks, I am no longer stymied (for gHari, the kids lost us here=;-). How about alfalfa? Sorry, I couldnt resist, I need a spanky. Hare Krsna, ys, mahaksadasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
