Buckwheat Raw ORGANIC (per 300g)

Despite its recent rise to fame, buckwheat is actually an ancient grain with a long history. It has been eaten in Asian and Eastern European countries for centuries, but is now becoming increasingly popular in the west due to its many health benefits.

While buckwheat is often thought of as a cereal grain, it is actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel. However, because its seeds are rich in complex carbohydrates, it is sometimes referred to as a pseudo-cereal.

While it is not a true grain, it can be used like one in cooking and is a delicious alternative to couscous, bulgur wheat, rice and pasta.

Buckwheat is high in protein and fibre. It is rich in many trace minerals, including manganese, magnesium and copper and is a good source of the B vitamins. It also contains  relatively few calories (66 calories for an 80g cooked portion, 40g uncooked) and practically no fat. Buckwheat also ranks low on the glycaemic scale. In fact buckwheat is so packed with nutrients and antioxidants that it is often referred to as a “superfood”.

Keep in a cool, dry place within an airtight container to preserve freshness and flavour.

Please note that we are the retailer, not the manufacturer of the products we sell.

We work hard to keep our product information accurate and up to date. However, manufacturers may occasionally change ingredients, descriptions, or production practices without notifying us. We recommend always checking the product label upon receipt.

For loose products, if you require a specific country of origin or best before date, please contact us before placing your order.

Allergen Information

As a bulk foods store, despite maintaining a Five-Star Food Hygiene rating, the presence of allergens cannot be fully eliminated. Sacks of products containing allergens are opened and closed daily as we scoop and refill our shop dispensers. We use separate scoops for each product and store each product in its own container or original sack — however, products containing allergens are not stored or packed in a self-contained area.

This means all products may contain traces of allergens due to cross-contamination.

Where a product is indicated as free from a particular allergen, this means it has not been formulated from or wholly derived from that ingredient. Allergen handling procedures are in place throughout our supply chain to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If you have a severe food allergy, please contact us before ordering so we can advise whether our products are suitable for you.

If you are unsure whether a product is suitable for your allergy, please contact us before purchasing.
