Buckwheat Flour

Buckwheat Flour

EverydayDry

Buckwheat flour is a gluten-free, nutrient-dense flour milled from the triangular seeds of the buckwheat plant, a pseudocereal unrelated to wheat. With a robust earthy flavor and dark color, this whole-grain flour retains all parts of the seed, providing notable fiber and complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids. It serves as a popular wheat alternative in pancakes, soba noodles, and dense baked goods, though often blended with lighter flours to balance its intense flavor and texture.
