Also, dark Buckwheat flower is ground Buckwheat with extra hulls added & is the most allergenic form. Standard Buckwheat flour is ground buckwheat with the hull but without additional hulls added. Light Buckwheat flour is considered to be most tolerable as the hull has been removed & the inside is ground. White Buckwheat is ground with the hull & is lighter in color. The exterior is light brown, not dark like the more commercially available Buckwheat. ****This grain is considered to be gluten-free but may not be tolerated by some
