7 Recipes That Will Make Buckwheat Your New Favorite Ingredient
What's the deal with buckwheat? Turns out it's not even related to wheat; it's a fruit seed that's more closely related to rhubarb than any grain. But this seed acts enough like a grain that you can bake with it, make pancakes with it, and use it like you would quinoa, rice, or farro.
Buckwheat is gluten-free, filled with protein, and comes in a few different forms:
- Buckwheat flour is used for baking, pancakes, and crepes.
- Buckwheat noodles, or soba noodles, make amazing salads, soups, or pasta dishes.
- Buckwheat groats are the hulled seed of the buckwheat plant and what we're focusing on today.
Here are seven recipes that use buckwheat groats in truly delicious ways:
