Buckwheat is an annual plant native to Central Asia that belongs to the Polygonaceae family, making it suitable for gluten-free diets.
Buckwheat is grown all over the world, valued for its rapid growth and ability to improve soil health. Its small white flowers are beneficial to pollinators, and the plant plays a historic role in crop rotation as a cover crop.
Its roasted seeds are known as ‘Kasha’ and have subtle yet deep notes with a toasty, nutty flavour that is particularly appreciated in a number of food applications.
