Product Description
Breton Buckwheat Stone Ground Flour
It was back in the 15th century when buckwheat, also known as Sarrasin appeared in Europe. In Brittany this delicacy reached its peak in the middle of the 19th century and buckwheat was for a very long time the staple ingredient in Breton cooking. Today buckwheat is still used in numerous typical recipes such as crepes and the Sarrasin cake. Don’t think you’ve got the recipe for the buckwheat cake as there are as many of them out there as there are villages!

Easy to use
I've never used or tasted buckwheat flour before, but wanted to make gallettes savoury pancakes. i used a recipe from online and these cooked up easily. The flavour is odd, tasted almost like a mild bean. not too strong though once you have all the fillings. Very tasty we thought.

Very Strong - slighty Bitter After Taste
This flour has a distinct strong overpowering after taste. Was to be used to make Gallettes/Crepes.

Raggmunk - Swedish Potato Pancakes
Raggmunk is the name for a Swedish potato pancake. The pancakes are fried in butter and served with fried pork and lingonberries. They cannot be made using new potatoes, since potatoes that are harvested in early summer do not contain enough starch to hold the pancake together.

Buckwheat flour as it should be!
This a strong and full-bodied flour which made gorgeous gallettes. We use this on a weekly basis and have pretty much tried every available product. This is by far superior.
