What is buckwheat?

Buckwheat (Polygonaceae family) is a herbaceous plant native to Central Asia, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years for its edible seed.

The buckwheat seed, similar to wheat but smaller, is rich in proteins, vitamins (in particular vitamin B1 and vitamin B2) and mineral salts (in particular magnesium and iron). Furthermore, it is characterized by the presence of flavonoids, important antioxidants that help counteract oxidative stress.

Organic buckwheat is widely used in cooking, especially to prepare typical Central European and Asian dishes, such as Japanese soba noodles or Russian bliny. Thanks to its great versatility, it can be used in multiple ways: as a substitute for pasta, rice or bread, or as an ingredient for soups, salads, crepes and much more.
