Buckwheat Groats

Buckwheat Groat is the hulled seed of a plant often used like a grain across Eastern European, Russian and Asian cuisines — familiar as kasha, groats or buckwheat flour for pancakes and noodles. It has a nutty flavor and is commonly roasted for added depth (as in roasted buckwheat kasha) or milled into whole-grain flour for baking. Nutritionally Buckwheat Groat is a fiber-rich whole grain, providing about 10g of fiber per 100g, and is valued for its plant protein and mineral content (notably magnesium and copper). It is low in saturated fat and naturally gluten-free, making it useful for people avoiding wheat. From a health standpoint, Buckwheat Groat supplies substantial fiber and a reasonably balanced plant protein profile, and contains antioxidant polyphenols that contribute to its protective effects. Its overall nutrient mix makes it a versatile, wholesome alternative to refined grains in many recipes.
