Buckwheat
Buckwheat has a very distinctive and hearty flavor and it may be one of
the most overlooked flavor options in our larder. There is nothing better
than awakening to the tantalizing aroma of baking buckwheat pancakes. The
batter is raised in a warm place overnight, and is ready for the grill. 75
yeas ago, it was a popular breakfast, but is has fallen into virtual
oblivion. Unfortunately, the current recipes usually use baking powder as
the leavening agent instead of yeast, and the character of the product is
destroyed. I
t takes planning and effort to be ready for this kind of meal
and our penchant for instant food has compromised a delightful reason to
get out of bed on a cold winter morning. Buckwheat is also known as 'groats'
and Kasha. Like soy, is often grown as 'green manure', which is a
crop that is grown to be plowed under instead of harvested, in order to
nourish the soil.
Buckwheat was originally cultivated in the colder
climates of northern Asia in 1000ad. It migrated to Europe during the 14th
century and eventually came to America, arriving in the early 1600's with
the Dutch and German immigrants. The nutrition of buckwheat is similar to
that of wheat, but it is not a member of the wheat family. It has no
gluten so it is safe for those who are glucose intolerant. It contains
rutin, which lowers cholesterol and blood pressure. It is fat-free and has
significant amounts of vitamins B1 and B2 and minerals, including zinc,
copper magnesium, manganese, and calcium
