Buckwheat Flour

Buckwheat flour is a great option for those who are looking for a tasty alternative to wheat. Contrary to popular belief, buckwheat isn't a grain at all! It's actually a seed from the rhubarb family, making it rich in plant proteins, fiber, and minerals. Buckwheat flour has a nutty flavor and is best used in pancakes, breads, and muffins, though it's also found in Japanese soba noodles. It should, however, be used in combination with other light flours and can stand in for half the amount of regular wheat flour in most recipes.
