Frequently Asked Questions
The real question is, why isnât the entire United States sprinkling crunchy buckwheat goodness on their brekky every morning? Shouldnât the buckwheat flower be our national flower or something? What is our national flower? Anyways, hereâs the deal: sprouted buckwheat seeds add this addictive crunch you really wonât find anywhere elseânot from baked granolas or any kind of nut. We love crunch, so this is important. Beyond the crunch, letâs talk HEALTH: âsuperfoodâ doesnât have an official definition, but buckwheat defines it. Itâs a gluten-free, grain-free FRUIT SEED (yup) thatâs high in plant-based protein, fiber, antioxidants (some studies say 10x more than quinoa), magnesium and more. Learn about all the buckwheat benefits here, and why we process buckwheat the way we do to make Lil Bucks.
TL;DR: We are obsessed with buckwheat because itâs amazing for humans and the planet, itâs versatile and it tastes amazing.Â
We hear you - the word âbuckwheatâ is confusing because it actually does not contain any wheat at all! Itâs a grain-free FRUIT SEED more closely related to rhubarb and strawberries than actual wheat.
Fun fact - the word is thought to have come from the Dutch wordboecweite, AKA âbeech wheat". The triangular buckwheat seeds reminded the Dutch of the larger but also triangular beech nuts from the beech tree, and then the use for these seeds is similar to a grain so wheat came into play. We decided to name our company Lil Bucks to drop the wheat from buckwheat and just call âem bucks! And theyâre cute âlil seeds, so hence âLilâ. đ
Yup! Technically buckwheat seeds are fruit seeds coming from a flowering plant. They are gluten-free and grain-free, and thus make a great substitute for grains for those following a paleo or mostly grain-free diet. We are careful to only source other paleo ingredients when formulating our products to make this a great option for paleo and gluten free eaters!Â
