Virtues & Benefits

Often mistaken for wheat, buckwheat isn't even a grass! It actually belongs to the rhubarb and sorrel family. It's a plant in its own right, with its own unique character.

It is the ecological plant par excellence. It grows very well on poor soils and requires no fertilizer. Even better: it grows so fast that it smothers weeds, making herbicides and pesticides completely unnecessary.

During the summer, buckwheat is covered with beautiful small white flowers full of nectar. It's a real feast for bees and pollinators, which helps our local hives thrive.

Buckwheat doesn't just occupy the land, it heals it. Its roots can draw deep nutrients to bring them to the surface. Farmers love it to naturally restore energy and fertility to their fields between two crops.

Since it's not wheat, buckwheat is naturally and completely devoid of gluten. It's the perfect alternative to indulge yourself without feeling any heaviness or discomfort after the meal.

A real energy concentrate! Buckwheat contains almost 10 times more assimilable magnesium than classic wheat flour. It's the ideal ally to fight fatigue, soothe stress, and keep muscles in great shape.

Unlike white flours that cause sugar to spike, buckwheat releases its energy very slowly. It avoids the famous afternoon slump, keeps the stomach full for a long time, and is perfect for people monitoring their blood sugar.

We often praise the merits of green tea, but buckwheat does 12 times better in terms of antioxidants! It's an excellent natural shield to protect our cells and help us stay healthy.

It is very rare for a plant to gather all essential amino acids, but buckwheat does. A small 100g portion is enough to cover almost all our daily needs for plant proteins.

Rich in soft fibers (pectin), buckwheat acts as a real natural bandage for the stomach. It feeds the good bacteria in our intestinal flora and ensures optimal digestive comfort on a daily basis.
