Buckwheat – Photo and Description from Vegan Venue
Buckwheat is not a grain, but it’s used as a grain in cereals, pancakes, and breads; we keep some in our vegan pantry where it is always available when we desire to include it in a recipe.
Buckwheat
About Buckwheat:
The origin of buckwheat is believed to be central and western China. Many people think that buckwheat is a cereal grain, but it is actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel making it a suitable substitute for grains for people who are sensitive to wheat or other grains that contain protein glutens. Buckwheat is also highly nutritious, as can be seen in the nutritional chart. Roasted buckwheat groats are called kasha. Whole buckwheat can be used as a substitute for rice and cooked as a cereal. Buckwheat flour can be used in making oven cakes, pancakes, and breads.
