What it is

Buckwheat is not a true wheat but a pseudocereal, meaning it is a seed consumed like a grain. It is native to Asia and is grown for its edible, triangular seeds. The groats are the hulled seeds, which can be roasted or unroasted.

Why it's used

Buckwheat groats are often used as a whole grain in cereals, breads, and baked goods. They can also be ground into flour for pancakes, noodles (like soba), and other dishes. Their nutty flavor and hearty texture make them a popular choice for health-conscious consumers.

Health notes

Buckwheat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of fiber and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated buckwheat and its components. Research suggests buckwheat may have a positive effect on blood sugar control due to its fiber content and unique carbohydrates, but more studies are needed.

Allergen info

Buckwheat is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten, making it suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
