In case you don’t know, buckwheat isn’t wheat. Like tiger nuts that aren’t tree nuts, buckwheat is poorly named. It’s a great hearty and filling grain that can be used for those of you who are wheat and/or gluten free.
Buckwheat is an excellent substitute for rice and quinoa, and that’s how we’ll be using it today. Fire up the stove and let’s get cooking.
