Buckwheat flakes are a type of cereal made from buckwheat groats that have been steamed and then flattened. Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat, but rather a seed related to rhubarb and sorrel, and is naturally gluten-free, making it a suitable option for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Buckwheat is a nutrient-dense food that is rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It contains essential amino acids, making it a good source of plant-based protein. Additionally, it provides nutrients such as magnesium, copper, and manganese.
