Contact SupplierBuckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is a highly nutritious and versatile pseudocereal. It is not a type of wheat and is naturally gluten-free. Buckwheat is known for its unique triangular seeds, which are commonly referred to as "buckwheat groats." Buckwheat has a distinctive nutty and earthy flavor. When cooked, the groats have a slightly chewy texture, making them suitable for a variety of dishes.
It is rich in carbohydrates, dietary fiber, protein, vitamins (especially B vitamins like niacin and riboflavin), and minerals (such as magnesium and manganese). Buckwheat is particularly notable for its high content of the essential amino acid lysine.
