What is Buckwheat Flour?
Buckwheat flour is made from 100% buckwheat kernel. Most importantly, it is gluten-free, so it is a great replacement for recipes that use other flours that contain gluten. Buckwheat flour is a good source of lysine, iron, manganese, zinc, and dietary fiber, making it a nutritious option for gluten-free baking.
Our buckwheat grows in Inner Mongolia, where temperature varies widely from day to night and the sunshine is sufficient, it keeps the nectar flowing into the afternoon when buckwheat blooms. Meanwhile, the soil acidity of Inner Mongolia is pH6 ~ 7 and the soil layer is loose, which is conducive to seedling excavation and root development.
The pyramid-shaped kernels are harvested and ground into surprisingly rich flour with little black specks that come from the ground seed hull. This is how traditional Buckwheat Flour has been made for hundreds of years. Buckwheat flour contains a significant amount of fiber, and studies have shown that it helps slow down the rate of glucose absorption after a meal. Buckwheat is also a good source of protein and calcium. Buckwheat has a unique, assertive flavor that is especially great in both quick and yeast bread.
