Energising and nutritious, buckwheat is a plant cultivated for its grain like groats, which are small, crunchy and have a distinctly triangular appearance. It is available throughout the year and can be served as an alternative to rice or made into a porridge.
Why Should I Get Buckwheat Flour ?
Commonly used in pancakes, buckwheat flour is a high fibre, high protein alternative to white flour. It surpasses white flour in all respects and If you cannot tolerate gluten, buckwheat flour can take the place of wheat flour in most (if not all) of your recipes!
This is why Buckwheat is fast becoming a staple superfood worldwide, sharing the limelight only with Quinoa Grain, and for all the right reasons too! The protein in buckwheat is a high quality protein, containing all eight essential amino acids, including lysine. This makes Buckwheat one of few plants capable of producing a true "Complete" Protein, drawing even more similarities to Quinoa grain!
There are various popular Buckwheat Preparations available other than Raw Buckwheat, with the most popular alternatives being Buckwheat Flour and Roasted Buckwheat (Known as Kasha)
