Rude Health Sprouted Whole Buckwheat Flour 500g

Product Description

Buckwheat isn't wheat, it isn't even a grain. It's a pseudo-grain more closely related to rhubarb than wheat, & it's gluten free. Buckwheat creates perfect pancakes, blinis & breads with a nutty tang that's made it a hit with the hippest bakers. An unsprouted grain is dormant, waiting for the right time to germinate. Its nutrients are locked up & well protected, making dormant grains harder to digest. When soaked in water, the grain wakes up & starts to sprout. Enzyme activity breaks down growth inhibitors, transforming & multiplying nutrients into their more easily digestible forms. The sprouted grain is slow dried to preserve its valuable nutrients. Then it's stone ground, creating this raw, wholegrain, sprouted flour, ready to use. Combined with other flours, sprouted buckwheat flour brings on earthy flavour to cakes, bread & pastry. Buckwheat pancakes are flipped all over the world. From French Galletes & Russian Blinis to the fantastically named Hrechanyky from Ukraine; sprouted buckwheat flour makes a lighter & fluffier pancake. Buckwheat flour is essential for authentic soba noodles & ideal for gluten free pasta.
