Description

Buckwheat groats are the hulled seed of the buckwheat plant. Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat as it is not a grass. It is related to sorrel, knotweed, and rhubarb. It is a naturally gluten-free grain and highly nutritious containing high levels of fiber, protein, and iron. With a mild, earthy flavor and off-white to beige color, buckwheat groats are a nutritious ingredient to add to soups, salad, cereal, and bread. They are also commonly used as an ingredient to make beer and whiskey.

From the Heart of the Willamette Valley in Oregon, we are proud to offer a full line of Camas Country Mill artisan flours and grains. Camas Country Mills wheat and grains are grown by Hunton Farms in Junction City, Oregon. This third-generation family farm is one of the first in the Willamette Valley to transition from growing grass seed to growing grains and beans. The Hunton family is committed to building a strong, sustainable and vibrant regional grain community.
