Buckwheat puffed, ORGANIC

DE - ORGANIC - 001 Puffed buckwheat is a popular ingredient in muesli and granola. Combined with melted chocolate and then allowed to harden, it can be used to create wonderful pastry bases and sweet treats. Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free, making it popular with allergy sufferers. Unlike puffed rice, buckwheat has a nuttier flavor. It is primarily prepared as a soup or porridge in Russia and Poland. It resembles beech nuts but is significantly smaller. Its high protein and starch content makes buckwheat, which is not actually a grain but a member of the knotweed family, a valuable pseudocereal. Combined with wheat or rye, it is used to make bread, pastries, porridge, and grits.
