Buckwheat is my latest obsession, and the healthy food you are probably not eating...yet.

| What is buckwheat? |

You can see buckwheat often on the grain list, but it´s actually not a grain, it´s a fruit seed. And the plant that this fruit seed is on, is related to rhubarb and sorrel. And, yes, that means that it is also gluten free, for those who are gluten sensitive or have celiac decease

| Buckwheat variaties |

You can find whole buckwheat, cereal buckwheat and toasted buckwheat etc. Whole buckwheat, are referred to as `groats`, they are pale green, and have a pyramid shape. You can also find brown buckwheat, that have been roasted, and are called `kasha`. I like to buy the cereal type, when i make this porridge. But this fruit seed is also great in wraps instead of quinoa, to make crunchy cereals  or salads.
