Buckwheat Farinetta vs. Flour

Dahlia · 11-26-2005, 12:27 AM

Hi there -
Does anyone know if there is a difference between buckwheat farinetta (the kind you order at Minn-Dak - https://www.minndak.com) or buckwheat flour (the kind you buy at the health food store)?
Also, does anyone have any success stories about those "PCOS Blaster Muffins" helping them ovulate more regularly?
Thanks!

Hi!
No, it's not the same. Farinetta is much, much higher in d-chiro inositol. You would have to consume tons of buckwheat flour to get the same amount. Do a search and read some older posts--you'll find more info on it. I have not tried the farinetta muffins yet, but I will soon. I just ordered some farinetta from minndak the other day. HTH!

Thank you for your response! Yes, I read some more, and realized that "farinetta" is buckwheat "bran" (not "flour"). Well, even the muffins I made with the regular buckwheat flour are pretty tasty. I hope the next batch is even better! Good luck to you, too!
