Grain
Flour
Buckwheat flour is milled groats, grey-flecked and aromatic—essential for soba, blini, and Breton galettes. It has no gluten, so structure needs eggs, binders, or wheat blending when elasticity matters. Toast lightly for deeper flavour in some recipes. Store cool; rancidity develops in the natural oils.

Industrial shelling and milling standardised kitchen forms.
Specialty diets increased demand for flours, butters, and protein-rich pulse parts.
