Product code: P33383
Buckwheat Flakes are produced from whole buckwheat groats (Fagopyrum esculentum), carefully steamed and rolled to create a light, nutritious, and naturally gluten-free ingredient. Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and is free from gluten, making these flakes an excellent choice for allergen-conscious and plant-based formulations. Rich in complex carbohydrates, plant protein, and fibre, Buckwheat Flakes provide a wholesome base for breakfast cereals, snack bars, bakery mixes, and instant porridge products. Their mild, nutty flavour and smooth texture make them a versatile ingredient that adds both nutrition and appeal to functional and clean-label product ranges. Buckwheat is naturally rich in important nutrients such as magnesium, manganese, and flavonoids like rutin, supporting its popularity in products positioned for sustained energy and wellbeing. While no specific health claims are authorised in the UK or EU, it aligns with consumer demand for natural, wholefood ingredients. Our Buckwheat Flakes are fully traceable and batch tested to ensure consistent quality, purity, and safety. They are suitable for vegan and vegetarian applications and supplied with full technical documentation, including specification and Certificate of Analysis — reflecting Cambridge Commodities’ commitment to quality, service, and innovation.
