Golden caster sugar, also known as raw caster sugar, is an unrefined fine-grain sugar with a light golden colour, similar in texture to white caster sugar. It's not to be mistake for light brown sugar, which gives a more fudgey texture. 

It dissolved quickly and performs in the same way as white caster sugar, but is different to white caster sugar in that it still contains small amounts of molasses. The molasses give it the light golden colour, along with a slightly more caramel flavour.

Buckwheat flour is a nutritious and traditional wholegrain gluten-free flour with very distinctive earthy taste. Buckwheat flour is ground from Buckwheat, a herb related to rhubarb and sorrel, and is commonly referred to as a pseudo-grain. 

It is a carbohydrate, but contains a high level of protein and fibre, aiding in digestion. It is also thought to contain anti-oxidants, which can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure. 

Due to its lack in gluten, it should not be used in a 1:1 swap with wheat flour, however better results can occur if in use with a starchy flour. It additionally doesn't rise well, therefore is best suited to pancakes, biscuits or in pastry.

Top tip: If using it in a cake, combine it with a starchy flour, which as sweet rice flour, tapioca flour or nut flour, to produce a light and fluffy bake.

Common traditional uses include buckwheat blinis, galettes and soba noodles. 

Pairs well with: chocolate, coffee, caramel, nuts and spices. 

High quality fine vegan cocoa powder, perfect for adding that chocolatey loveliness into baking and hot chocolate. Other ideas include adding them into into smooties for a richer, chocolatey taste, sprinkling onto fruit, and added into granola bars. 

Cocoa powder is made from cacao beans from the Cacao tree (Theobroma cacao). Cacao beans grow in within cacao pods that a variety of beautiful reds, yellows, greens and blues, which hang from the tree. Each pod contains 20-60 beans surrounded by the tart-sweet sticky cacao flesh, or 'fruit.' 

'Are cocoa powder and cacao powder the same?' we hear you say...

No they are not. Both raw cacao powder and cocoa powder originate from the same beans, however differences are in the taste, nutritional value and texture, all to do with how the cacao bean is processes. 

Cacao is lighter in colour, more fruity in flavour, and closer to its natural state than cocoa powder. 

Cocoa is darker in colour, and is more processed and refined than cacao, including an extra processing step of roasting at high temperatures, decreasing its nutritional value.
