What it is

Buckwheat flour is made from the seeds of the buckwheat plant, which is not related to wheat. The seeds are ground into a fine powder. Despite its name, buckwheat is botanically a fruit, not a grain.

Why it's used

Buckwheat flour is used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baked goods, noodles, and pancakes. It adds a distinct nutty flavor and a slightly coarser texture to products. It is often found in cereals, breads, and pasta.

Health notes

Buckwheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fiber and various minerals. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated buckwheat, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also assessed its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Buckwheat is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is naturally gluten-free.
