3-PACK, 100% Buckwheat Pasta Noodles, Organic & Gluten-Free- 1.65lbs/ 3 servings per package

These are 100% buckwheat noodles, (Japanese: 'soba') not a mix of wheat & buckwheat flours, so no gluten. Called 'Juwari' soba in Japan, (in contrast to 'Nihachi' soba-<>80% buckwheat flour / <>20% wheat flour). Buckwheat's not a grain; it's related to the rhubarb plant, but never heard of anyone reacting to it. I bought these Juwari from here b/c both the small Asian markets and the giant Asian superstore markets I tried don't stock them. Russia & China produce the most buckwheat, but its still a minor niche product in the US. Supposedly buckwheat has a "poor yield performance" compared to other cereals, meaning that it takes more land and resources to produce the same amount of food.

GREAT 100% BUCKWHEAT SOMEN NOODLES labeled Organic, made in ChinaOne ingredient: Buckwheat. Cooked easily and taste is nutty but not overpowering. Used in vegan stirfry. Made in China, label says "Organic", wish it was non-GMO but no indication of that. Glad to have at least found a single ingredient product.

Great taste but they are a bit spendy for the product.

So happy to find 100% Gluten Free Buckwheat Noodles. It’s a bit difficult to find. Many brands add wheat to their recipes. It is easy to prepare and is very versatile. We made cold soba noodles with somen sauce and it was very good. Then I got adventurous and made a mixed veggie soba noodles salad. I have since reordered and am looking for new recipes to try.

Good product

Classic case of a poor, overly expensive bougie brand people buy at a regular American grocery store because they haven’t figured out this stuff is much cheaper and higher quality at Asian stores. We are suckers for buying these. You are a sucker for even reading this far into the reviews and considering them. Don’t do it.The cost of these noodles are largely because of the packaging. Why would each bunch of noodles come tied up in a purple wrapper? It ends up in the boiling water with everything else. Why does the website say ‘noodle culture?’ Who’s idea of a sick joke is this?I tried using these in a sesame noodle recipe that I’ve made many times successfully. As I look at the doughy mess sitting in a serving bowl in front of me I do not wonder where I went wrong. I know where I went wrong. It is the noodle.I have found good Asian brands locally and will continue to use those. This is not a good Asian brand.

I love buckwheat noodles and these slide down nicely with vegetables.

It’s so hard to find 100% buckwheat noodles that made of just buckwheat flour most of them are mixed with regular wheat and partially buckwheat flour.
