The buckwheat seed consists of a light colored buckwheat groat contained within a black hull, which can be hard to separate when (or before its) ground into flour. Thus, buckwheat is commonly available as either dark (more traditional) and light buckwheat flour. The darker flour color is from the inclusion of bits of the black hull in the flour. The hull fragments are gritty and bitter, giving the darker traditional flours a more gritty and bitter taste. Our flour is a light flour. White enough it can be cooked with alone (straight), but still a few black hull specks to give it a traditional buckwheat taste. Soba flour is sifted and ground finer than our normal flour. Appropriate for making soba noodles. Show more
