Buckwheat is not just a versatile food ingredient. The entire plant is used top to bottom with zero waste!
The plant leaves and stalk are used as a nutritious addition to cow’s rations.
Buckwheat is a pollinator plant, attracting lots of honey bees.
The bees produce rich dark brown honey with strong caramel and floral flavour notes.
And the hulls of buckwheat grains are not wasted either! They are used as pillow fillers to make hypoallergenic pillows that promote relaxation and improve sleep.
