Energizing and nutritious, buckwheat is a plant cultivated for its grain like groats, which are small, crunchy and have a distinctly triangular appearance. It is available throughout the year and can be served as an alternative to rice or made into a porridge. It has been a staple in eastern European diets for decades and while many people think that buckwheat is a cereal grain, it is actually a fruit seed, related to rhubarb and sorrel.
The Wholefood Earth Organic Buckwheat is a great choice for vegan and gluten-free individuals seeking to add dietary fiber and organic ingredients to their meals.
