Our dark buckwheat flour is milled from whole buckwheat groats, husks and all, to give a full flavoured but fine flour.
The flour is ideal for traditional Breton crêpes or galettes, buckwheat pancakes served with sweet or savoury fillings.
The British buckwheat used to produce this flour is grown by George Young in Essex. The flour is milled for us by Shipton Mill.

Buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum, is a member of the rhubarb family. Known in France as sarrasin, it's also called black wheat on account of its dark outer husk. Unlike wheat, buckwheat is not a member of the grass family and is therefore, like quinoa, a pseudocereal rather than true cereal.
