About this snack
Buckwheat — *braoo* locally — is one of the few crops that will finish a season on terraces this high. It is not a wheat and not a grass; it is a seed, and it contains no gluten at all.
Ours is stone-milled in small runs rather than steel-rolled in bulk. Stone mills turn slowly and stay cool, which keeps the oil in the germ from scorching. The flour comes out flecked grey-brown with the hull still in it, and it smells faintly of earth and toasted nuts.
Because it is a whole flour with the oil still in it, it does not sit on a shelf for a year. That is the trade for the flavour.
Ways to enjoy it
- Traditional GB buckwheat bread — the local staple through winter.
- Pancakes and crêpes: swap in 50% buckwheat for a nuttier, darker result.
- Noodles, in the Japanese soba style.
- Thicken soups and stews with a spoonful.
Storage & freshness
Airtight, cool and dark — or the fridge in summer. 6 months. Whole flours have oil in them and will eventually turn; smell it if unsure.

A closer look
Good things to know.
01
Genuinely gluten-free
Buckwheat is not related to wheat. It is milled here in a facility that handles no gluten grains.
02
Stone-milled, cool
Slow stone mills do not heat the flour. Industrial steel rollers do, and heat is what makes whole flour taste flat.
03
Milled through the season
Ground in small runs over the winter rather than all at once in October, so what ships to you is recently milled.
