Despite the name, Buckwheat isn't related to wheat, and in fact is not even a cereal. It is known as a "pseudocereal" because its seeds' culinary use is the same as cereals, due to their high starch content. Buckwheat flour has more protein, dietary fiber, and B vitamins than an equal weight of oat or whole wheat flour, and is an excellent source of potassium and essential amino acids. Buckwheat is naturally gluten free. In the US buckwheat is most often used in pancakes but it can be used in many other foods as well. In Asia it is commonly used to make noodles.

Older grain varieties offer many benefits. Not only do they have more flavor than modern grains, they have often been shown to be more digestible too. While not gluten free, many people who have reactions to modern wheat often report not having the same reaction to older wheat varieties.
