This buckwheat flour is grown and milled by Bio-Oz (also known as Buckwheat Enterprises), a family-run company based in Parkes, NSW. Founded by Julie and Geoff Brown, Bio-Oz is Australia’s leading processor of buckwheat, with a strong commitment to regional sustainability and chemical-free agriculture.
The flour is milled from a blend of whole buckwheat and buckwheat kernels, giving it a robust flavour, slightly deeper colour, and a gentle nuttiness. This milling method retains more of the grain’s complexity, making it ideal for both traditional and experimental gluten-free baking.

FAQs
Is this product gluten free?
The buckwheat flour is naturally gluten free, but this 750g version is packed in a shared facility. If you are coeliac or highly sensitive to gluten, we recommend the 4.7kg pack, which is packed in a dedicated gluten-free environment.
What’s the difference between this and the white buckwheat flour?
This flour is milled from a mix of whole buckwheat and buckwheat kernels, resulting in a slightly darker appearance and a deeper, nuttier flavour. It retains more fibre and character than pale “light” buckwheat flours that are milled solely from buckwheat kernels.
