Ingredient Analysis

A Multi-Grain Noodle Formulation

Buckwheat + Millet + Whole Wheat

The noodles use buckwheat, millet and whole wheat instead of refined maida. The supplied label specifies 30% buckwheat flour and 50% whole wheat flour, with millet flour also included.

This is therefore a multi-grain noodle formulation rather than a 100% buckwheat noodle.
