Harvesting

Buckwheat is a hardy crop that thrives in cooler climates. The plant itself is not a type of wheat, but rather a pseudocereal, and its seeds are rich in nutrients, making it a valuable addition to a healthy diet. After harvesting, the outer husk of the buckwheat seeds is removed to reveal the inner kernel, known as hulled buckwheat. This process results in a product with a light beige or greenish colour, and a nutty flavour. Hulled buckwheat is naturally rich in essential nutrients such as protein, fibre, and minerals including manganese, magnesium, and phosphorus. It is also a good source of antioxidants and B vitamins, making it a nutritious plant-based ingredient.
Whether used in porridge, salads, or homemade treats, organic hulled buckwheat offers a nutritious and flavourful addition to a balanced diet.

The organic nature of Organic Hulled Buckwheat means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Hulled Buckwheat in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Hulled Buckwheat

Organic Hulled Buckwheat dates back thousands of years. Originating in Southeast Asia, it spread to Europe and eventually became a staple in Eastern European and Russian cuisines. Buckwheat's resilience and ability to thrive in poor soil made it a valuable crop during times of scarcity. Its hearty nature and nutritional benefits have earned it the title of a "superfood." With its earthy flavour and versatility, buckwheat has stood the test of time, evolving from a traditional ingredient to a popular choice for health-conscious foodies seeking gluten-free, nutrient-dense options.
