Buckwheat looks like a grain, acts like a grain and tastes like a grain, but it’s really a fruit seed. It is a member of the rhubarb and sorrel families of greens and is a highly nutritious and gluten free.
It is rich in B Vitamins and bioflavinoids, making it a desirable addition to your diet. Cooking with buckwheat is a bit different than using wheat flour. One of the best ways to start is with a prepackaged mix like our Buckwheat Pancake and Waffle Mix. {note: the mix contains equal portions of buckwheat and wheat flour and is not gluten-free}
Using organic buckwheat flour in your favorite bread, muffin, shortbread and baking recipes is a great substitute for wheat products.
