Is Buckwheat Gluten-Free?

Yes, buckwheat is naturally gluten-free in spite of its name! Buckwheat seeds are taken from a plant that is relative to rhubarb. For more information read my buckwheat flour guide for baking.

What Is Buckwheat Flour?

Buckwheat flour is finely ground buckwheat groats that can be used in baking. Buckwheat flour is often used in gluten-free baking as a part of a gluten-free blend but in this round-up, you will find a lot of desserts that use buckwheat flour on its own without extra additions.
