Buckwheat flour

Description

Buckwheat flour has a nutty, slightly earthy aroma and a gray-brown color with a fine, yet slightly grainy texture. It is naturally gluten-free and rich in plant protein, fiber, magnesium, iron, and antioxidants, which promote satiety, regulate blood sugar levels, and support heart and vascular health. It also contains rutin, which supports circulation and the elasticity of blood vessels. In the kitchen, buckwheat flour is great for pancakes, fritters, sourdough bread, cookies, and as a thickening agent for sauces and coatings; it pairs well with honey, yogurt, roasted vegetables, and cheeses. It should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator to extend freshness and prevent the fats from becoming rancid.
