Buckwheat
Buckwheat is a plant cultivated for its triangular seeds, which are ground into flour or eaten whole as groats.
Despite the name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and contains no gluten, making it popular in gluten-free cooking.
It appears in soba noodles, blini, and kasha.
Buckwheat pancakes have a distinctive nutty flavor.
