functionality in both traditional and innovative food applications.
Naturally gluten-free and high in protein and fiber, buckwheat also boasts significant nutritional value, with a high mineral and antioxidant content that supports overall health. Its protein is of very high quality due to a balanced amino acid composition.
Whether used as a base flour in gluten-free baking or incorporated into cereals, noodles, or snack bars, buckwheat delivers a hearty texture and a subtly nutty flavor. Its excellent binding and moisture-retention properties make it particularly useful in baked goods, where it contributes to structure without the need for gluten. It can be compared to rice and rye as a clean and gluten-free alternative with a similar nutritional profile.
