Where does buckwheat come from?

Originating in Asia, buckwheat, also known as black wheat, first developed in China before spreading to Europe over the centuries. Its cultivation became firmly established in the 14thᵉ century, finding Brittany the ideal soil in which to flourish. Even today, it remains the cradle of French buckwheat, promoted by a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) since 2009 under the name “blé noir tradition Bretagne”. Contrary to its name, buckwheat is not a cereal but a flowering plant, making it a unique and precious crop.

And its nutritional benefits?

Buckwheat is naturally rich in plant proteins and essential minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium. As it is gluten-free, it is particularly popular with people who are intolerant or sensitive to gluten. Its seeds, low in fat and sugar but rich in soluble fibre, promote digestive comfort and contribute to a balanced diet.

Tips and advice

  • Choose home-made patties: thinner and tastier, they will make even crispier chips.
  • Watch the cooking time: buckwheat browns quickly, and a few minutes too long can make it bitter.
