Features
Malted from buckwheat, a pseudo-cereal*, Château Buckwheat Nature malt is used to produce organic gluten-free beer. Château Buckwheat Nature malt may contain traces of other malt grains containing gluten. *Pseudocereals are broadleaf plants (non-grasses) that are used in much the same way as cereals (true cereals are grasses). Their seed can be ground into flour and otherwise used as cereals. Examples of pseudocereals are amaranth, quinoa, and buckwheat.
