Buckwheat nutrition facts

Buckwheat is a grain food whose nutrient profile depends on whether the kernel is whole, pearled, refined, or milled. It provides protein, dietary fiber, potassium, and magnesium. Choose a dry, intact package without insects or moisture damage and store it airtight in a cool, dark place; refrigeration extends the quality of whole-grain and high-fat products.

More about allergens

This food is made from a gluten-containing grain. Gluten triggers celiac disease; wheat is also one of the nine major food allergens recognized in the United States. Check packaged-food labels because recipes and cross-contact controls vary.

This general information does not replace the ingredient and allergen label on a packaged product or individual medical advice.

Interesting fact

Milling changes more than particle size

Whole-grain flour retains bran, germ, and endosperm, while refined flour removes much of the bran and germ. Finer particles also expose more surface area to enzymes and oxygen, affecting digestion and storage stability.
