raw buckwheat (white)
Description
Unroasted buckwheat (white) consists of small, triangular grains with a light beige-green hue and a delicate, slightly nutty, fresh flavor — less intense than roasted, more subtle and creamy when cooked. It is rich in protein with a valuable amino acid profile, fiber, magnesium, manganese, iron, and B vitamins, while being naturally gluten-free; regular consumption supports digestion, positively affects lipid profiles, and helps in controlling blood sugar levels. In the kitchen, it works well as a grain for main dishes, a base for salads, warm buckwheat risottos, fillings, soups, or breakfast puddings, as well as flour for baking and pancakes. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place; for longer shelf life, it is advisable to keep it in the refrigerator or freezer to avoid moisture and pests.
