Is this product suitable for vegan or gluten-free diets?

The visible ingredients are all plant-based: green buckwheat, flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, dried paprika, green onion, and garlic. That means it can fit into a vegan menu, provided the product is not processed with animal-derived additives or on shared equipment—check the label for the exact statement if this matters to you.

Buckwheat, despite its name, is not wheat. It is a seed that is used like a grain, and it does not contain gluten in its natural state. However, the mix may be packed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing grains, so it is not possible to say from the general description alone whether it is suitable for someone with coeliac disease. Always read the allergen information and any “may contain” statements on the packaging.

For anyone with a known sensitivity to seeds, flaxseed, or any of the dried vegetable ingredients, check the full ingredient list before opening the pouch.
