What is Buckwheat?

Buckwheat is a flowering plant cultivated for its hull-like seeds. This nutrient rich seed has many health benefits and is also gluten-free.
Hulls
Buckwheat Hulls are the outside part of the seeds produced by the buckwheat plant, Polygonum Fagopyrum. After harvesting, the hulls are separated from the seeds and become Buckwheat Hulls. Although hulls should not be heated in the microwave, they can be used as stuffing in lumbar supports, pillows, and meditation cushions.
Seeds
Buckwheat Seeds, commonly called berries, are the un-separated hull. Buckwheat seeds can be safely heated in the microwave when they are used as filling in homemade heating pads, neck and eye pillows, and hand warmers.
