What it is

Buckwheat is a seed from a plant related to rhubarb, not a type of wheat. Sprouted buckwheat groats are whole buckwheat seeds that have been germinated (sprouted) and then dried. This process can make nutrients more available and change the flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sprouted buckwheat groats for their nutty flavor and crunchy texture. They are often added to breakfast cereals, granola, snack bars, and baked goods.

Health notes

Sprouted buckwheat groats are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of fiber, protein, and various minerals. Organizations like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated buckwheat and its components, but no specific health claims are associated with sprouted groats at typical consumption levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from consuming sprouted buckwheat groats.

Allergen info
