Buckwheat
Buckwheat, which is not part of the wheat family, is a suitable & nutritious grain for people who are sensitive to wheat or other gluten grains. It can be ground into flour or cooked whole. The buckwheat plant produces a seed that is 3-D triangular in shape and has a black hull. Hulled buckwheat has had the outer black layer removed, the resulting grain being yellowish in colour. It has a distinctive nutty flavour and can be cooked and served in a similar way to rice.
It can also be a great addition to soups, used to make tabouli or even a gluten-free porridge. Organic Buckwheat has wide range of health benefits.
Traditional uses:
To cook...after rinsing, add one part buckwheat to two parts boiling water or broth. Bring to the boil then turn down the heat, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Attention:
All grains should be rinsed thoroughly under running water before cooking, and any dirt or debris should be removed.
