Buckwheat Grits are cracked, coarsely milled buckwheat seeds that cook in just 5 minutes. Traditionally used for porridge, they are wonderfully versatile and can also be used for baking, savoury croquettes, spreads and other creative dishes.
Despite its name, buckwheat is not a grain but the seed of a flowering plant. It has been used much like a cereal for thousands of years, with its origins believed to date back around 6,000 years to China and the Himalayan region.
Naturally nutritious, buckwheat provides fibre, vitamins B1 and B6, minerals and plant-based protein. Unlike most grains, it is also a good source of lysine, an essential amino acid, and has a particularly well-balanced amino acid profile.
A wholesome, quick-cooking and versatile addition to the pantry.
