Just heard of this and bought a bag of flour on Amazon. Supposed to be high in phytonutrients and polyphenols with low glycemic influence. No gluten either.
Very healthy!! If this is flour, then bake bread, make noodles, pancakes, things with dough...
Just start with small amounts.
Tartary buckwheat might cause pathology of peripheral nerves.
There were few reported cases of polyneuropathy with dyskinesia. Did you buy it to curb your appetite or diabetes?

I heard a doctor talking about wheat giving people digestive problems and he suggested this instead. I am an adventurous eater and like to cook so I figured why not?
I've been baking with Italian and French flours after hearing people with digestive upsets from wheat say they had no problems in Europe, indulging in baked goods. So far, no bloating which I usually get after eating US flour products.
But main difference is that Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat is not a grain at all - it’s actually a fruit seed.
In reality, Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat is much more similar to the rhubarb and sorrel family of vegetables than it is to most grains. https://bigboldhealth.com/stories/3-...rient-standout

Most of the buckwheat grown (at least in WV) were seeds imported from Europe/Asia at some point. I'm just curious if there is some grand difference between what is being advertised at what looks like $25 for 2lbs vs. $13.00 for 2lbs at King Arthur flour, where my wife buys her baking goods.
Buckwheat represents the highest source of polyphenols among other pseudo-cereals, as was stated by MartÃnez-Villaluenga et al.,1 and when compared to cereals such as oat and barley, buckwheat possesses higher antioxidant activity.14,15 The phenolic compounds, such as monomeric flavanol 3-ols and B type procyanidins, are important for buckwheat, as some of them were not reported, or they were found in a lower amount in cereals,16,17 which are more used in the diet. On the contrary, it was reported that there are lower values of dehydrodiferulic acid and dehydrotriferulic acid in buckwheat than in cereals.3 According to ZieliÅ„ska et al.18 the nutraceutical properties of buckwheat have been mainly attributed to the presence of several flavonoids. The prominent compound in different parts of buckwheat was found to be rutin,18,19 the levels of which reduce during seed ripening.20 The significant observation was that buckwheat is the only pseudo-cereal that possesses rutin flavonoid.21
We've been buying buckwheat for decades so I'd be REALLY hard pressed to purchase it at a premium like that.
Edit- I just noticed I was looking at buckwheat SPROUT powder vs their buckwheat flour. The sprout powder looks like $76 for either 1 or 2 lbs. The posted site sells buckwheat flour at 2lbs for $25, which still seems to be a premium.
