Form

Color

The feature of buckwheat from China is that it always has a rather dark color. That is, if you even wash it twice and you will cook a lot of time - it will still be dark. Our kind of buckwheat immediately becomes lighter already after the first wash. And cooking it completely - to notice the difference in a lighter color can be a naked eye.

Price
