Description
Our Organic Buckwheat is a nutritious, wheat-free ingredient commonly used as a rice substitute. Originating from East Asia, it has been cultivated in China for over 2000 years. With a rich, nutty flavour—described as earthy, slightly sweet, robust, and complex—it pairs well with various ingredients, making it versatile in culinary applications.Despite its name, buckwheat groats are not a type of wheat or grain; they're a fruit seed related to rhubarb. Buckwheat is abundant in amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, serving as a natural protein source.
Our Organic Buckwheat is:
🌱 GMO-free
🌱 Preservative-free
🌱 Additive-free
With its robust and nutty flavour, raw Buckwheat can be ground into flour and can be used for both sweet and savory dishes from morning to night.
Here's how to make the most of Buckwheat:
• Grind raw hulled Buckwheat into fresh flour for homemade gluten free goodies such as bread, muffins, cakes, cookies, or even pancakes and waffles!
• Cook Buckwheat kernels as a sustaining porridge, swapping oats and simmering for 20-30 minutes. Serve with maple syrup, banana, and a drizzle of tahini for a delicious sweet and earthy breakfast.
• Incorporate Buckwheat into soups, broths, curries, lentil patties, and risotto as a rice alternative.
• Cool pre-cooked Buckwheat before adding to salads or as a wheat-free tabouli.
• Sprout raw Buckwheat kernels for wraps, salads, stir-fries and green juices, or activate them for raw food recipes.
• Lightly toast Buckwheat kernels with maple syrup or honey for a delightful snack, or enjoy in muesli bars and energy balls with hemp seeds as a versatile vegan treat.
Storage:
To maintain freshness, store buckwheat groats in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Refrigeration or freezing can extend their shelf life.
