buckwheats

Not true grains

Buckwheats is the plural of buckwheat, a grain-like seed used in cooking—though it's actually related to rhubarb, not wheat.

More commonly, buckwheats refers to pancakes made from buckwheat flour, which have a nuttier, earthier flavor than regular pancakes: We ordered the buckwheats with maple syrup.
