Buckwheat bread by @recipesformax
Buckwheat is actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel making it a suitable substitute for grains for people who are sensitive to wheat or other grains that contain protein glutens. Diets that contain buckwheat have been linked to lowered risk of developing high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Buckwheat is a good source of flavonoids and magnesium.

Buckwheat has a distinctive, nutty, robust taste. Some find that it takes time to get used to. But it’s delicious once you get the hang of it. PS What is a “seeded” flour?

We eat buckwheat “kasha” so like its unusual taste.
