Certified organic
Origin: China
Production: mechanically hulled whole kernel
Despite the name, Buckwheat is not a wheat (grass family) or cereal but a seed from a flowering plant related to Rhubarb. This ancient seed has a distinct, tetrahedral shape and was domesticated and first cultivated in Asia as early as 6000 BC and was one of the earliest crops introduced by Europeans to North America. Buckwheat is a short-season crop that does well on low-fertility or acidic soils and is commonly used as a green manure.
Qualities: Buckwheat is an important source of high-quality gluten-free vegetable protein which contains all eight essential amino acids as well as Alpha-Linolenic Acid, which is one of the two essential fatty acids. It is also high in lysine, B vitamins as well as minerals such as phosphorus and magnesium (build strong bones and teeth), iron, zinc, and copper (produces red blood cells) and manganese (helps stabilize blood sugar). Its high content of both soluble and insoluble fiber may aid in keeping blood sugar levels balanced and lowering cholesterol levels.
Common use:
- Milled, buckwheat flour has a strong, distinctive flavor and is often mixed with other flours to lend its distinctive taste to many baked goods. It is used in noodles (called Soba in Japan), crepes, and many gluten-free baked goods.
- Roasted, it is known as kasha and serves as a traditional dish in many different cultures or as an ingredient in breakfast cereals, soups, and energy bars. To cook, do not presoak - just rinse first and then bring three parts water to one part kernels to a boil, add kasha and simmer 10-15 minutes or until at desired texture. Drain in a colander.
- Sprouted, you can enjoy the whole kernels in a raw, high fiber breakfast cereal by soaking the seeds. This has the added benefit of activating enzymes, making it even more digestible and nutritious. Buckwheat is a good binding agent and when soaked becomes very gelatinous. For those practicing a raw food diet, raw and soaked buckwheat can be enjoyed in many recipes like granola, cookies, cakes, crackers, and other bread-like products.
- Boiled, it is delightful on its own or combined with other fast cooking pseudo-grains such as quinoa, amaranth or teff and enjoyed as a base for sweet or savory dishes or in salads. It is sometimes used as a meat substitute in chilis, casseroles, and soups. To cook, do not presoak - just rinse first and then bring three parts water to one part kernels to a boil, add buckwheat kernels and simmer 10-15 minutes or until at desired texture. Drain in a colander.
Storage: keeps well in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark location

Buckwheat from China
Seems great, tastes great. I always worry more than a little about Chinese products after spending decades living in Chinatown.

Buckwheat and eggs
1 of buckwheat, two of water (we like a little extra water to make the buckwheat just a little softer).one to two eggs for every quarter cup of buckwheat. A quarter cup of this recipe is enough for one person, but a half cup is sometimes more satisfying.The best sweet onions you can find. About a quarter of a medium onion for starters. We like more. Sautee the onions while the buckwheat is cooking. It cooks fast so don't fail to keep an eye when the water starts dropping below the grains. Stir with a fork to see if the water is all gone and it will cook for a minute or three after the heat is off.Mix the sautee'd onions and buckwheat a little, then dump the eggs on top and mix everything before the eggs cook in lumps. We use soy sauce or Braggs to flavor during the cooking, and let everyone salt or soy or Bragg as they like when it is done. Fast, easy and amazingly good. This will put buckwheat on the map if anything will. It works well with brown rice too, but the cooking time is much longer for the rice and it's not worth the trouble.

Delicious, healthy buckwheat!
We rinse and then drop buckwheat into boiling water. 2 parts water/1 part buckwheat. Boil, simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. We add 1 cup to our cereal bowl filled with dried and fresh fruit and nuts and heated milk. We make enough for 2-3 days. Scrumptious!

Thank you for your business!

Excellent Product
These green organic buckwheat groats are wonderful. You can taste the quality. So far, I made a buckwheat groat porridge for breakfast with seeds, berries and almond milk and some whole food buckwheat groat seed and nut protein bars. So happy to have found a great source for ordering this super food!
