About Buckwheat crackers

Buckwheat crackers are a type of snack made using ground buckwheat flour, often combined with seeds or spices for flavor. Buckwheat is not a true grain but a pseudocereal, originating from Asia and later cultivated in Eastern Europe and other regions. These crackers are naturally gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. They are lower in calories compared to traditional wheat-based crackers and are a source of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium and manganese. Buckwheat crackers also contain plant-based protein, making them a more filling snack compared to many alternatives.
