Buckwheat

Buckwheat groats, also known as kasha, are made from the hulled seeds of the buckwheat plant. Despite its name, buckwheat is not a type of wheat, nor is it related to wheat. It is actually a gluten-free grain that is becoming increasingly popular for its health benefits. One serving of buckwheat groats contains high amounts of fiber, protein, and manganese, as well as a good source of magnesium, phosphorus, and copper. Buckwheat is also rich in antioxidants, which can help protect against cancer and heart disease. This grain can be used as a substitute for rice or other grains in savory dishes, or mixed with fruit and nuts for a tasty breakfast cereal.
