What it is

Buckwheat is a plant whose seed is used as a grain. Despite its name, it is not related to wheat and is naturally gluten-free. Whole grain buckwheat flour is made by grinding the entire buckwheat groat, including the bran and germ.

Why it's used

Buckwheat flour is used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baked goods like pancakes, noodles, and bread. It adds a nutty flavor and a denser texture to products. It is often found in gluten-free baking mixes and specialty breads.

Health notes

Buckwheat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fiber, protein, and various minerals. JECFA has evaluated buckwheat and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). Research suggests it may have benefits for blood sugar control due to its fiber and antioxidant content, but more studies are needed.

Allergen info

Buckwheat is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. As it is not derived from wheat, it does not contain gluten.
