Organic Light Buckwheat Flour

Buckwheat is a plant grown for its grain-like seeds. Despite its name, it is not related to wheat. Light buckwheat flour is made from the whole buckwheat groats, which are the hulled seeds of the buckwheat plant.

Manufacturers use buckwheat flour as a whole grain flour in baked goods. It can be used in pancakes, waffles, cookies, and breads. It adds a distinct earthy flavor and a slightly denser texture to products.

Buckwheat flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fiber and various minerals. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated buckwheat, and it is not associated with significant health concerns at typical consumption levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from its consumption in a balanced diet.
