What is Buckwheat

Despite the name, buckwheat is not related to wheat nor is it a grass, it is in fact closely related to rhubarb and sorrel. The name 'buckwheat' or 'beech wheat' comes from its triangular seeds, which resemble the much larger seeds of the beech nut from the beech tree, and the fact that it is used like wheat. It is one of the most versatile gluten-free grains central to many international recipes from Japanese soba noodles, and Eastern European Kasha to French galettes and has been used for centuries across the world as a staple food.

How to make

Bring plenty of water to a boil with a pinch of salt if desired. Add 80g of pasta per portion. For perfect “al dente” pasta simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. For more tender pasta, simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes. Drain through a sieve and serve immediately with your favourite sauce.

Serving suggestion: Buckwheat Pasta also makes a perfect base for a salad. Just rinse under cold running water after cooking and mix with fresh ingredients and a dressing of your choice. This box contains 3 servings.
