Whole Raw Buckwheat Groats: A Versatile Superfood

Discover the incredible nutritional benefits and culinary versatility of our Whole Raw Buckwheat Groats. Despite its name, buckwheat is not a wheat at all, but a highly nutritious seed related to rhubarb. This makes it a fantastic, naturally gluten-free staple for anyone seeking wholesome, energy-packed whole foods.

With its mild, nutty flavour and unique triangular shape, raw buckwheat is a kitchen chameleon. Enjoy it as a hearty porridge, use it as a nutritious rice alternative, or sprout it for salads. Its ability to absorb flavours makes it a perfect base for both sweet and savoury dishes.
