Is Buckwheat Flour Gluten-Free?
Yes, buckwheat flour is gluten-free! Despite having “wheat” and “flour” in the name, buckwheat does not contain any wheat, barley, or rye. It’s not even closely related to wheat, nor is it a member of the grass family. It’s actually the seed of a flowering plant!
How to Make Buckwheat Flour
Making homemade buckwheat flour is seriously easy! Simply add raw buckwheat groats to a blender and blend in 5-10 second increments until fine and powdery, stopping to shake the blender a few times as you go. In less than 30 seconds, you’ll have fresh buckwheat flour that’s even better than what you’ll get at the store! We can’t wait for you to try it for yourself!
