Despite the name, Buckwheat is not a wheat (grass family) or cereal but a seed fro
m 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 6000BC. It 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 naturally gluten free and an important source of high-quality plant protein which contains all eight essential amino acids as well as Alpha-Linolenic Acid, which is one of the two essential fatty acids.

I LOVE THIS FLOUR!!!
This flour is perfect! Mild flavor, fine and white! White buckwheat flour is hard to find. I use this with all my gluten free baking and I absolutely love it!
The bag of buckwheat flour it came torned all the flour spilled all over Did not use it
Excellent Flour
This is a light buckwheat flour with excellent flavor. It is more mild than dark buckwheat flour, so I find I can use it in a greater variety of baked goods. As with most gluten-free baking, it's best to find a recipe with good information on proportions. This cannot be substituted 1:1 for wheat flour. For most recipes, it needs to be balanced with some starches, like tapioca.
Buckwheat flour?
It does not have the color of buckwheat. It taste and smell like bean flour. It might have been a mistake in packaging. And of course did not rise in my baking.
Buckwheat Flour
Great flour. I like to use it in gluten free flour mixes. I'm happy to find a good supplier for this.
