It is a flowering plant in the Polygonaceae family, related to rhubarb and sorrel. The name comes from the Dutch \"boekweit\" (beech wheat) because the seeds resemble small beech nuts in shape. It is naturally and completely gluten-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between unroasted and roasted buckwheat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnroasted (raw) buckwheat has a mild, slightly earthy, nutty flavour — very versatile in cooking. Roasted buckwheat (kasha) has a deep, toasty, almost coffee-like flavour — the version traditional in Eastern European and Russian cooking. Unroasted is better for porridge, flour, and neutral grain dishes; roasted is better as a side dish and in kasha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs buckwheat a complete protein?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — buckwheat contains all essential amino acids, with particularly high lysine content (which most grains lack). It is one of the few gluten-free grains to be a complete protein source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs buckwheat gluten-free?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — buckwheat is naturally and completely gluten-free, containing no gluten proteins whatsoever. It is one of the best grains for those with coeliac disease.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just Natural Organic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49215379144956,"sku":"JNO3892","price":2.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/4683\/9207\/files\/JN104_large_c0b6554a-3138-4666-9ddd-ed3c62e860a9.jpg?v=1781959768","url":"https:\/\/econaturalproducts.co.uk\/products\/organic-buckwheat-unroasted-500g","provider":"Eco Natural Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
