Organic Japanese 100% Buckwheat Soba 200g

Delicious, versatile wheat-free noodles with a rich, nutty Buckwheat taste. Known as 'Juwari Soba' in Japanese, meaning 100% Soba.

As Buckwheat does not contain any gluten or binding agents, it requires great skill to produce these hearty noodles. The grain is milled several times so that, although wholegrain, the noodles have a delicious soft texture that absorbs the flavours of any broth or dressing.

Soba noodles are often served in Japan after big celebrations or evenings out. They cook quickly (in just over five minutes) but are quite fragile due to the absence of gluten, so require a gentle hand.

Originally served chilled with a dipping sauce, today they are more commonly served in hot broth as a noodle soup, topped with colourful vegetables, seaweeds and sesame seeds. As these noodles contain no gluten they should be cooked gently — add them after the water has come to the boil, then add cold water periodically to avoid breakage. Stir-frying is not recommended.
