1 slice (medium) of Raw buckwheat bread (35 g) has 86 calories. That works out to 245 calories per 100 g. It contains 14.8 g of carbs, 3 g of protein, 1.5 g of fat and 2.7 g of fiber. Its 0.4 mg of Manganese covers 17% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 48 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Raw buckwheat bread is a dense loaf made from buckwheat groats, usually soaked, ground or mashed, then shaped and dried at low heat rather than baked like conventional bread. It belongs to modern raw-food cooking rather than to one particular traditional bread-making region. Buckwheat gives it an earthy, mildly nutty flavour and a coarse, sometimes crumbly texture.
Serve a slice with avocado, hummus or vegetables, or alongside soup; it also works as a hearty base for open sandwiches. It has a notably fibre-rich profile, with 7.8 g of fibre per 100 g. Because the loaf can be quite dense, pair a modest slice with fresh produce for a lighter meal.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Raw buckwheat bread is a dense loaf usually made from soaked buckwheat groats, blended into a dough and dried at low heat rather than baked like conventional bread. Recipes may also include seeds, vegetables or seasonings.
To make raw buckwheat bread, soak and rinse the groats, blend them with water and any chosen binders, then shape the dough and dry it at low heat. A dehydrator can help dry the loaf evenly throughout.
Not always. Some recipes dry the loaf at a low temperature to fit a raw-food approach, while others use a hotter oven. The preparation method matters: a loaf exposed to higher heat is not technically raw.
Yes, most raw buckwheat bread recipes soak the groats before blending. Soaking softens them for a smoother dough; rinsing afterward removes the thick, sometimes slippery coating that develops in the soaking water.
No, raw buckwheat bread does not necessarily need yeast. Some recipes rely on fermentation of the soaked buckwheat, while others mix the dough and dry it without fermenting. The recipe determines its rise, tang and texture.
Raw buckwheat bread can crumble if the dough lacks enough binding or becomes too dry during preparation. Let the loaf cool fully before slicing, use a sharp knife, and adjust the binder or moisture in your next batch.
Store raw buckwheat bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator because its moist texture can spoil more quickly at room temperature. Freeze slices for longer storage, and discard the loaf if you notice mold or an unusual sour smell.
Yes, raw buckwheat bread freezes well. Slice it first and separate the slices with parchment so you can take out only what you need. Thaw a slice in the refrigerator or warm it gently before serving.
Yes, you can toast raw buckwheat bread, but handle the slices gently because the dense loaf may crumble. Toasting heats it, so the finished slice is no longer raw, even though it is still fine to eat.
Raw buckwheat bread pairs well with hummus, avocado, nut butter or savory spreads. Its earthy flavor also works with soup or a salad; choose a topping that adds moisture if the loaf seems dry or crumbly.
