Roasting buckwheat creates a crispy, airy grain. These puffed granules, without added sugars, are especially delicious for breakfast with some milk, yogurt or vegetable drink. But they also provide a very surprising bite as a garnish for salads or dessert. Buckwheat is not actually a grain, but comes from a herbaceous plant. The grains are the fruits of that plant and look a lot like beechnuts. Because buckwheat has many similarities with grains, it may belong to the group of grains. This buckwheat is also guaranteed gluten-free!
