The ingredient list typically shows buckwheat as the primary ingredient. For processed items like pasta, the ingredient list will also show other ingredients such as water, starches, or flavourings. The nutrition label provides information on energy, fat, saturates, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, and salt per portion. For products that are a source of fibre, this will be declared on the nutrition label.
