DESCRIPTION

Also known as Kasha, buckwheat is not actually a variety of wheat, it is a gluten and grain free seed from a hardy plant related to rhubarb. Buckwheat are distinctive pyramid shaped, tan seeds, that have been used for centuries as a grain alternative or flour, before wheat became a global staple. It is sometimes referred to as a 'pseudo grain', like quinoa and amaranth. Although buckwheat was domesticated and first cultivated in inland southeast Asia, possibly around 6000 BC, it is most famed for its use in the small Russian pancakes known as blinis. Buckwheat has also been a part of Japanese cuisine, French cooking, Belgium, Ukraine, even American Pioneer days.
