Buckwheat Groats

Buckwheat Groats

EverydayDry

Buckwheat groats are gluten-free pseudocereals harvested from the buckwheat plant, unrelated to wheat despite their name. These triangular seeds provide a robust nutritional profile with high fiber and plant-based protein, along with a low glycemic index ideal for blood sugar management. When cooked, they develop a tender yet chewy texture and nutty flavor, serving as a versatile base for porridges, salads, or grain bowls, and can be toasted (as kasha) for deeper earthy notes.
