Culinary Comment:
Buckwheat is a grain rich in several important nutrients, including magnesium, zinc, potassium and folic acid. Buckwheat flour does not contain gluten, and products made with buckwheat flour do not rise when cooked. As a result, buckwheat flour can only be used for crepes and biscuits, though it can also be mixed with wheat flour to make bread.
