Organic Buckwheat Flakes by Fenbrook Organic. Made from buckwheat organically grown, harvested and dried in more than one country. Packed in the UK.

It was one of the first crops introduced to North America by early European settlers and is a staple food in much of Eastern Europe.

The seeds have a toasted, nutty flavour, and they're an excellent, gluten-free alternative to wheat. Buckwheat is believed to have been first cultivated more than 8,000 years ago in Southeast Asia.
