Buckwheat

Buckwheat is a versatile, gluten-free seed. It has nutty taste, often compared with wild rice. When cooked al dente it has a firm and chewy bite. Overcooking can result in a mushy consistency, which some people prefer for porridge. Buckwheat pairs well with both sweet and savoury ingredients, making it suitable for a wide range of dishes, from breakfast porridge with fruit and spices to savory pilafs and salads with vegetables or meats.
