Distinctive color

Buckwheat is not limited to pancakes and can be used in a variety of dishes, like noodles and porridge.

Not just pancakes

 you can use things like buckwheat husks or oat hulls. We then process these husks with some basic equipment. And I want to share with you a quick video from our facility that gives you a sense of how this looks at scale. So what you're seeing here is actually cotton hulls from Texas, in this case. It's a waste product.
