Facts about Buckwheat: But first, a bit of history. The buckwheat grown in Aroostook county Maine has tiny white flowers and is known as silver hulled buckwheat. This variety is grown exclusively in the northern part of Maine and parts of Canada. The farmers grew and milled buckwheat for their own consumption and the middlings or bran were used for livestock feed. They also used the hulls to insulate their homes. The buckwheat plant is extremely hardy and resilient, which makes it easy to grow without the use of chemicals.
