Buckwheat belongs to a group of foods commonly called pseudocereals. Pseudocereals are seeds that are consumed as cereal grains but don’t grow on grasses. Other common pseudocereals include quinoa and amaranth.

Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and is thus gluten-free. 

Buckwheat has become popular as a health food due to its high mineral and antioxidant content and because it scores low to medium on the glycemic index.


HOW TO USE IT : Cook the buckwheat for 10 to 15 minutes in plenty of boiling water and drain. Whether you cook it for 10 or 15 minutes, I would suggest is a matter for personal taste – a bit like pasta. If you want to add a little extra taste to your buckwheat, try toasting it in the dry pan for 2 to 3 minutes first before adding the boiling water, this will give you some extra nutty flavours and a richer, deeper taste.  Buckwheat can be used in place of other carbs such as rice, couscous, potatoes or pasta or as a side dish for a curry or stew. Buckwheat flour can be used in place of regular wheat flour – for example, in a delicious Buckwheat Soda Bread.

Store buckwheat just as you would store other grains: in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark location. Use within a year of purchase. Keeping it away from heat, moisture, light, and air will prolong its shelf life.
