Buy buckwheat in Australia at Wallaby Wellness. Despite its name, buckwheat contains no wheat and is entirely gluten-free — it's actually a seed from a plant related to rhubarb, making it a pseudocereal rather than a grain. This makes buckwheat one of the most valuable ingredients in gluten-free, grain-free, and ancestral eating plans.
Buckwheat has an impressive nutritional profile: it's rich in complete protein (with all essential amino acids), high in magnesium, B vitamins, and rutin (a flavonoid with cardiovascular benefits). Its fibre content supports gut health, and its glycaemic index is lower than most grains, making it a more blood-sugar-friendly carbohydrate option.
How buckwheat is used:
- Buckwheat groats — cooked like rice or porridge, used in salads and grain bowls
- Hulled buckwheat — lighter texture, cooks faster, used in breakfast bowls
- Buckwheat flour — gluten-free baking, pancakes, soba noodles
- Organic buckwheat groats — for raw food and activated preparation
Our buckwheat range includes Spiral Foods and Bob's Red Mill — two of the most trusted clean-ingredient brands available in Australia.
