Whole Buckwheat Grain (Unhulled) Chemical Free 5kg

Whole Buckwheat can't be eaten as they are as the hull is quite thick and difficult to digest. Whole buckwheat however is fantastic when milled into a heavy, deep flavoured flour, perfect for dishes like Pizzoccheri; a hearty, Northern Italian Pasta dish 

Buckwheat (Fagopyrum Esculentum) is an annual broadleaf summer crop. Buckwheat requires a cool wet growing season to produce high quality grain.

Buckwheat (not related to wheat) is naturally gluten free, high in magnesium and has a balanced amino acid profile.  Buckwheat is also low GI, making it a very healthy alternative to commonly used gluten free flours such as rice flour, potato starch and tapioca starch. 

Buckwheat is botanically a fruit (related to rhubarb) and requires careful harvesting, processing and storage to ensure purity, mild flavour, optimum nutrition and high baking quality.

Our whole buckwheat are produced by Bio-Oz in Parkes, New South Wales grown sustainably, under the Sustainable Farmers of Australia initiative preserving soil health and biodiversity.
