Meal Ideas
Groats are the basic hulled whole-grains and the healthiest way to eat buckwheat (buckwheat flour has a slightly higher glycemic index and lacks some of the groats' flavonoids). Those groats can be boiled for an oatmeal-like breakfast (2 parts water to one part groats). Or if you roast buckwheat groats you've got a popular dish known as kasha. Buckwheat pancakes are another popular form of the superfood.
One item to note in your shopping--the darker the flour, the more nutritious. The same seems to go for buckwheat honey, which is sometimes recommended for those with allergies or a cough.
