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. 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 (produce 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: Common use: Buckwheat flour has a 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.

MG United StatesExcellent 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.

Carmelle J. United StatesBuckwheat 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.
