Buckwheat

What is "buckwheat"?

Buckwheat, despite its name, is not a type of wheat but a gluten-free pseudocereal. It possesses distinctive triangular-shaped seeds with a rich and earthy flavor, complemented by a slightly nutty undertone. Buckwheat's texture can vary depending on how it is prepared - from tender and fluffy when cooked as groats to a crunchy texture when toasted or used as flour. With its unique taste and versatile nature, buckwheat offers a delightful addition to a range of dishes, both savory and sweet, making it a popular choice for those seeking alternative grains or following a gluten-free diet.
