About Buckwheat Flour
Coarse-grain flour milled from buckwheat; for buckwheat noodles and pastries.
Health Benefits of Buckwheat Flour
Gluten-free, high-fiber coarse flour
100g of buckwheat flour has 5.7g fiber, 10.8g protein and 61.5g carbs, with fewer carbs and calories (304 kcal) than wheat flour. Naturally gluten-free, it is ideal for gluten-avoiders' pastries, and contains flavonoids like rutin for high nutrient density.

Japanese soba is the classic use. Cold soba is dipped in a light soy-dashi sauce; hot soba is warming. Pure buckwheat has no gluten, so noodles usually add 10-30% wheat flour for elasticity and shaping.
Fusion cooking
Buckwheat flour makes steamed buns, pancakes or cakes, or French-style buckwheat crêpes (galette). Blend 1:2 with white flour for buckwheat flavor with a soft texture. Buckwheat absorbs water strongly, so add extra when kneading.
