buckwheat flour

Gluten-free grain powder

Buckwheat flour is flour milled from buckwheat seeds—not actually wheat but a grain-like seed related to rhubarb.

It has an earthy, slightly nutty flavor and appears in pancakes, soba noodles, and blinis.

Because it contains no gluten, buckwheat flour is popular in gluten-free baking, though it behaves differently than wheat flour: The buckwheat flour gave the crepes a distinctive gray color.
