Arrowhead Mills Maple Buckwheat Flakes

Arrowhead Mills products are outstanding, and their buckwheat flour is one of our kids all time favorites especially in buckwheat pancakes where we do little more than add water, a little vanilla, water, and stir... so we figured 'what could be better than our favorite buckwheat pressed into flakes'? Well... almost.

These flakes have a great texture and are very crispy, and they do not lose their crispiness quickly when in the bowl with milk. There is also a hint of maple glaze about them that might add to keeping them from getting soggy.

They are really great with ripe, sweet peaches cut up and added to them, and they are excellent with strawberries and raspberries. However, by when served alone, with no fruit to sweeten the offering, they just do not get an A+ grade from us. Again, the texture and crispness is excellent, but the taste just falls flat -they do not scream "Buckwheat" at all... instead, they are kinda like a better frosted flakes product without the added sugar.

In our humble opinion, buy these instead of buying store bought frosted flakes but make sure that you have a nice, sweet, natural accompaniment to go with them. If you don't expect the earthy buckwheat flavor to really show itself, then you will not be disappointed. Glad we tried them and would do it again if another free shipping deal comes along.
