buckwheat flour (fapar ko pitho) 1 kg

Buckwheat flour, or "phapar ko pitho," is a gluten-free, nutrient-dense ingredient in Nepali cuisine. Rich in protein, fiber, and minerals like magnesium, it supports heart health and digestion. It is commonly used to make dhedo (a thick porridge) and phapar ko roti (a gluten-free flatbread). In the Himalayan regions, buckwheat is a staple due to its adaptability in cold climates. Its low glycemic index makes it ideal for people with diabetes, helping regulate blood sugar. Buckwheat is also significant in Nepali religious fasting, considered a "pure" food. Increasingly popular as a healthier alternative to refined grains, it plays a crucial role in both traditional and modern diets.
