Black Buckwheat Flour

Black buckwheat is grown traditionally in relatively warmer areas of both Leh and Kargil districts of Ladakh, where double-cropping is possible. It is generally grown as the second crop after harvesting the barley crop. This is one of the most expensive cereals with high nutritional value. There are two types of buckwheat, one is black and the other one is white. The black one is bitter in taste.
