Buckwheat flour is ground from the seed of the buckwheat, a hardy and nutritionally packed plant. Its a dense, dark coloured flour that is often mixed with other flours to create dishes like Polenta Taranga, a dark coloured Polenta that originates from the Valtellina valley region. In Italy, you'll usually find stone ground buckwheat flour. It's good news for anyone on a wheat or gluten-free diet, since it contains neither. |
