Heera Buckwheat Flour (Kuttu), 1kg

Buckwheat Flour, known as Kuttu in Hindi, is a finely milled flour made from buckwheat seeds. Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and contains no gluten, making it suitable for gluten-free diets.

In Indian culinary tradition, Kuttu flour holds special importance during fasting periods such as Navratri, Ekadashi, and Shivratri, when regular grains like wheat and rice are avoided. It is commonly used to prepare Kuttu puri, paratha, pakora, and pancakes, offering a wholesome alternative for vrat (fasting) meals.
