Buckwheat
What is kasha? It's roasted whole buckwheat.
Enjoy this naturally gluten-free groat (its name is deceiving, buckwheat is not a wheat grain) as a side dish or breakfast porridge. Buckwheat is enjoyed in many cuisines — savored for its bold, nutty, earthy flavor.
This pseudocereal* makes a delicious alternative to stone-ground oats. Boil a half cup of kasha in 2.5 cups of milk for a delicious alternative to stone-ground oats. For a flavorful breakfast, stir in some Hawaij for Coffee and top off with sliced strawberries, maybe a drizzle of maple syrup if you're feeling decadent.
Is there a more classic side dish than kasha varnishkes? Buckwheat and bowtie pasta, a pairing for the ages!
*botanically speaking, a seed but enjoyed like a grain
