About Buckwheat

Buckwheat is superior to all grains, as well as soybeans, as a source of protein.  It is the only natural, cholesterol-free source of all eight of the amino acids that the human body needs to consume.

Many think that buckwheat is a grain. However, it does not grow like typical grassy grain plants (think wheat).  It is more like a fruit, and in fact is related to the rhubarb plant. Buckwheat plants produce seeds which are eaten or ground into a dark, grainy-like flour.

Traditionally, buckwheat pancake yeast mix had to raise overnight.  But Stanton’s hearty, dark-grain pancakes are special, as they may have been the first mix created in the late 1800s (according to our lore) that was self-rising — to which you only had to add water.  No yeast, buttermilk, eggs, or oil.

Our “Stanton’s Own Old-Fashioned Self-Rising Buckwheat Pancake Mix” is an all natural product with only eight ingredients:  Light and Dark Buckwheat Flours, Wheat Flour, Powdered Milk, Corn Sugar, Phosphate, Soda, and Salt.  It is packed with Protein, Fiber, and Complex Carbohydrates!

Use Stanton’s Own as a protein-rich, low-fat, cholesterol-free replacement for other self-rising cooking mixes.
