What is Buckwheat?
Despite the name, buckwheat (kuttu) contains no wheat and no gluten. It is the seed of a flowering plant related to rhubarb and sorrel, making it a pseudo-grain — grain-like in use but botanically a seed. This means it is inherently gluten-free and suitable for coeliac disease. It is also one of the few plant foods containing all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source. Sprouting activates dormant enzymes, breaks down antinutrients, and dramatically boosts the concentration of rutin and quercetin — bioactive compounds with strong contains naturally occurring antioxidant plant compoundsand cardiovascular benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is buckwheat actually wheat?
No. Despite the name, buckwheat is botanically unrelated to wheat. It is the seed of Fagopyrum esculentum, a flowering plant in the family Polygonaceae — the same family as rhubarb. It contains zero gluten and is safe for people with coeliac disease and wheat allergy.
Why is it used for Navratri fasting?
Kuttu (buckwheat) is permitted during Hindu fasting periods (vrats) because it is not a grain in the botanical sense — it is a seed. Its use in kuttu ki roti and pakoras during Navratri and other fasts is a longstanding tradition across North India.
Does sprouted buckwheat flour taste different?
Sprouted buckwheat flour has a slightly milder, less bitter flavour than unsprouted. The characteristic earthy, nutty buckwheat taste remains but is more balanced. Many people find the sprouted version easier to incorporate into baked goods without the strong flavour being overpowering.
Can I use it 1:1 to replace wheat flour?
Not directly — buckwheat flour lacks gluten, which gives wheat dough its elasticity. For baked goods, blend with other gluten-free flours (rice flour, tapioca) or use xanthan gum. For rustic pancakes, crepes, and flatbreads, it works beautifully on its own.
What is rutin and why does it matter?
Rutin is a flavonoid antioxidant found in particularly high concentrations in buckwheat. Research shows it supports capillary strength,
