Organic Buckwheat Kernels
Organic Buckwheat Kernels are highly nutritious and are naturally gluten free.
Buckwheat is an all-natural source for the majority of the nutrients that we require daily. It is the best known source of high quality and easily digestible plant-based protein. Buckwheat even has more protein than soybeans. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals including vitamin B and E, and Manganese.
Organic Buckwheat Kernels can be ground into flour, sprouted or used as an ingredient in many different sweet and savoury recipes. You can soak and blend buckwheat kernels to make delicious gluten free savoury or sweet pancakes. Buckwheat Kernels are also great to add to dried fruits and nuts to make a home-made muesli. They can also be used to make porridge, in soup, with vegetables or raw treats. Buckwheat flour is one of the most popular gluten free flours to use in cooking and baking foods such as bread, muffins, cakes and cookies. Sprouted buckwheat is a great addition to salads, wraps or juices.
NOTE: Sprout ability is subject to the quality of each batch. Not roasted.
We recommend storing these, well sealed in the fridge.

Santos Organics is not your average grocery store; it's a not-for-profit social enterprise and environmental charity. Since 1978, we've pioneered the organic wholefood movement. Our stores serve as community hubs where people connect with our team and fellow community members, sharing a journey toward optimal health and wellness. The palpable sense of community forms part of the social and cultural fabric of the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers. Employing over 70 passionate locals, we support hundreds of local farmers, makers, and artisans, promoting the local economy, building community resilience, and strengthening the local food system. Approximately 75% of the food on our shelves is locally grown, produced, or supplied, nurturing interconnectedness and supporting those passionate about clean, wholesome food and sustainable living.
Santos Organics makes conscious shopping easy by sourcing the best organic food and natural lifestyle products. We invest in ethics research through a dedicated Ethics Specialist position, ensuring our products meet rigorous standards before reaching our shelves. Our Care Check process aligns products with our social impact and environmental goals, providing customers with confidence in their purchases. Our commitment to ethical product procurement extends to partnerships with local farmers through initiatives like the Grow the Growers Project. This project helps local farmers establish pathways to the organic retail market, making fresh, locally grown organic food more available and affordable. By incorporating supply agreements and mutual marketing support, we foster connections between customers and the farmers behind their food.
Santos Organics significantly impacts the local community and economy. Over the last three years, our investments in local employment, goods from local suppliers and distributors, rent, and hiring local tradespeople have retained over $26 million within the Northern Rivers. In the past year alone, $5.3 million was circulated back into the local economy through these efforts, supporting over 100 Northern Rivers-based suppliers and distributors. This investment sustains our community's vitality and unique culture. Employing over 70 local team members ensures money stays within the local economy, enhancing opportunities for community interaction and support. Our local suppliers share our vision of promoting creative, sustainable, and healthy product development, strengthening the reputation of the Byron Bay region as a hub for innovation and sustainability.
