Buckwheat flour is a  great source of high-quality, easily digestible protein and the eight essential amino acids.  Being gluten-free, it's suitable for those with wheat allergies.  High content of B vitamin and magnesium in buckwheat promotes cardiovascular health.  Being rich in dietary fiber, helps control blood sugar, aids in digestion, and builds lean muscle mass. Buckwheat flour (Kuttu ka atta) is fast becoming my favourite alternative flour to use for baking. It has a mild, nutty flavour and lends itself beautifully to the scones. I've been able to successfully substitute all-purpose flour with buckwheat in quite a few of my baked goodies.
