Organic Buckwheat Grits

What is Buckwheat?

Buckwheat is a plant cultivated for its grain-like groats, which are small, crunchy and have a distinctly triangular appearance. Buckwheat is a staple in Central and Eastern European diets. 

While many people think that buckwheat is a cereal grain, it is actually a fruit seed, related to rhubarb and sorrel. This means that buckwheat doesn't produce gluten as its not closely related to wheat or other similar species!

Why Should I Get Organic Buckwheat Grits?

 Buckwheat is exceptionally nutritional, surpassing all equivalent grains, it is a very good source of manganese and a good source of copper, magnesium, dietary fibre and phosphorus.

Buckwheat is fast becoming a staple superfood worldwide, similarly to Quinoa Grain. The protein in buckwheat is a high quality balanced protein, containing all eight essential amino acids, including lysine. This makes Buckwheat one of few plants capable of producing a true "Complete" Protein (just like the protein found in meat) drawing even more similarities to Quinoa grain!
