Buckwheat- out of stock

Fagopyrum esculentum

Technically not a wheat, buckwheat is actually

closely related to rhubarb and sorrel.  

Buckwheat's uses extend from an excellent

green manure and cover-crop, to outstanding

grain for human and animal consumption,

to bee's nectar source for highly desired

buckwheat honey.  A key ingredient in the

traditional Acadian dish known as ployes

common in Northern Maine and Canada,

buckwheat originated around 6,000 B.C. in

Asia and is used in cuisines world-wide.
