Buckwheat, despite its name, is not related to wheat and is naturally gluten-free. It is a nutrient-dense seed that belongs to a group of foods known as pseudocereals. At Farm Ayurveda, we provide the highest quality buckwheat, sourced naturally and cultivated without any harmful chemicals or additives. Its versatility makes it perfect for preparing porridges, pancakes, and baked goods, catering to both traditional and modern culinary tastes.
Rich in fiber, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and manganese, buckwheat supports heart health, improves digestion, and helps maintain blood sugar levels. Due to its low glycemic index and high antioxidant content, it's ideal for diabetics and those aiming for holistic wellness through natural foods. Our buckwheat is unpolished, minimally processed, and packed to preserve its natural essence and potency.
Buckwheat has a long and fascinating history that dates back over 8,000 years. It is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia and was later cultivated in China before spreading to Russia and Eastern Europe. In India, it is traditionally consumed during fasting periods and known as "kuttu ka atta." Revered for its nourishing and detoxifying properties, buckwheat has held a place in both Ayurvedic and Eastern traditional medicine systems for centuries.
