Bob's Red Mill Organic Buckwheat Flour, 22 Ounce, (Pack of 6)

Organic Buckwheat Flour is made from 100% whole grain buckwheat groats. Despite the name, buckwheat isn’t related to wheat and is naturally gluten free (note: this is not processed in our gluten free facility)! Use buckwheat flour for making delicious buckwheat pancakes, soba noodles, blini, and as a replacement for wheat flour in baked goods. Buckwheat flour is a good source of dietary fiber and contains essential amino acids. The buckwheat plant is actually a pseudocereal, not a grain. The pyramid-shaped raw buckwheat kernels are harvested and ground into a surprisingly rich flour. Unlike light buckwheat flour, our flour contains little black specks that come from the ground seed hull. Buckwheat flour is a must-have for making traditional Russian blini or buckwheat crepes. It has a unique, assertive flavor that is especially great in both quick and yeast breads. In wheat bread, use half buckwheat flour to add a rich, nutlike flavor and darker color.

• Bob's Organic Buckwheat Flour is 100% stone ground from premium organic 100% whole grain buckwheat groats. Freshly ground on slow turning quartz millstones for a hearty and distinctive flavor.
• Buckwheat flour contains four times as much fiber as whole wheat flour, and is also a very good source of manganese and magnesium. The protein in buckwheat is a complete protein, containing all eight essential amino acids.
• Buckwheat flour adds diversity of texture, taste and appearance to food products. Many people know and love the food it is found in: pancakes, Japanese Soba noodles and (crepes). It is best in combination with other flours. For example, cookies made with 40% buckwheat flour rank higher than 100% wheat flour cookies for color, appearance, flavor, texture, and taste. Gluten-free bread with buckwheat and rice flour score higher than bread with potato starch and rice flour for volume and soft crumb.
