Buckwheat is a misleading term. It's not wheat but rather a naturally gluten-free seed that yields this delicious, creamy hot breakfast. It's a whole grain, which carries many health benefits such as helping to reduce blood cholesterol levels, and is less starchy and higher in fiber than gluten-free corn or rice.
