As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines for Gluten-Free Beer require every ingredient to be free of gluten, exclude barley, wheat, spelt and rye, and let ABV, IBU and color vary with the underlying style, judging entries on their own merits. The millet and buckwheat grist meets that requirement, and no published figure conflicts with the guideline.
