Buckwheat - Farm: Gianforte

Buckwheat is a pseudocereal, which is a fancy way of saying that it's a crop not in the same plant family as other grains, but with properties of grains. Instead, Buckwheat is in the same family as rhubarb and sorrel. It has no gluten but is great for baking because it adds an amazingly, unique flavor; it's also what Soba noodles are made out of.

Brooklyn Granary & Mill sells Buckwheat in two forms: bolted (aka sifted) flour and as whole kernels. Bolted (aka sifted) flour is sifted using a screen that removes large chunks of bran. All of our flour is freshly milled to order.
