Buckwheat flour is a great alternative to wheat in biscuits , pancakes and cakes though you can’t use it for bread. It has an interesting flavor that gives character to every recipe. You can mix it with other kinds of flour or use it on its own to make galette-style pancakes like the ones they make in Northern France. Buckwheat is also very popular in Russia. It’s rich in fibre and minerals like magnesium, calcium and iron, which makes it a great food for kids and grown-ups alike.
