About Wholemeal buckwheat

Wholemeal buckwheat generally refers to buckwheat kernels with their outer covering retained, rather than flour. The small angular kernels are brownish and firm; when cooked they soften but can remain distinct, with an earthy, robust flavour.

The kernels can be cooked as a grain-like side, added to soups or porridge, or ground for use in other preparations. The term may cover intact or broken kernels, and cooking and texture vary with processing; buckwheat is not a type of wheat.
