This buckwheat flour is a beautiful grey with dark speckles throughout. The texture is not as refined as what you might find commercially which it adds a unique visual element, flavor and chew.

Best buckwheat flour ever. Almost purple in color, with amazingly fresh buckwheat flavor. Excellent mixed with other flours for baked goods, and outstanding alone in traditional chocolate chip cookies.
