Buckwheat: –

Buckwheat, despite its name, is not related to wheat and is naturally gluten-free. It belongs to a group of foods known as pseudo-cereals—seeds that are consumed like grains but don’t grow on grasses. Native to Central Asia and now grown widely in India (notably in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and the North-East), Russia, China, and parts of Eastern Europe, buckwheat has seen a revival in global markets due to its exceptional health benefits and functional uses.

At Godhani International, we supply high-quality Indian buckwheat seeds and flour—organically or conventionally cultivated—sourced directly from farmer clusters and processed under certified facilities. With increasing demand for gluten-free, plant-based, and functional foods worldwide, buckwheat is a prime choice for health-conscious consumers, food processors, and distributors.
