Description
Making your own buckwheat flour at home is really very simple. In this post, I’ll teach you how to make buckwheat flour with just 5 minutes and a blender. Once you see how easy and cheap it is to make, you’ll never go back to buying it again! Gluten-free and vegan.
Instructions
- Place Groats in Blender: Place 1/2 cup of buckwheat groats in your blender at at time.
- Blend Until Super Fine: Blend until you get a super fine flour (approximately 45 seconds) and transfer the ground buckwheat flour to a jar or bowl.
- Repeat: Repeat with the remaining groats until all the buckwheat groats are used up.
Notes
Blender: I use a high-speed blender, which is possibly the kitchen appliance that I use the most. If you don’t own a blender, you can also use a food processor or coffee grinder which will work just as well.
Use a Fine-Mesh Sieve: If you want to make sure it’s really fine, simply pass the ground flour through a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of any larger bits that were not fully processed.)
Storing: You can store the ground buckwheat flour in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months until ready to use.
Color of DIY Buckwheat Flour: The color of your ground buckwheat flour will depend on the type of buckwheat groats you use. In this case, I used hulled buckwheat groats which result in a lighter-colored flour. If you were to use unhulled whole buckwheat groats instead, bear in mind that the flour will be darker in color.
