About Whole grain buckwheat flour

Whole-grain buckwheat flour is milled from buckwheat seeds with the outer portions retained. It is commonly gray-beige to brown, sometimes with darker flecks, and has a pronounced earthy, nutty flavour. Its texture depends on how finely it is milled.

The flour is used in pancakes, noodles, breads, and other baked or cooked foods, alone or in mixtures. It is distinct from hulled buckwheat groats and refined buckwheat flour; products can vary in colour and grind.
