buckwheat, (Fagopyrum esculentum), also called common buckwheat, herbaceous plant of the family Polygonaceae and its edible seeds. Buckwheat is a staple pseudograin crop in some parts of eastern Europe, where the hulled kernels, or groats, are prepared as kasha, cooked and served much like rice.

The word “groats” refers to seeds that have been freed from their hulls; typically groats are more easily digested than whole seeds. Buckwheat groats are the whole, hulled form of buckwheat. They are excellent for use in salads, stuffings and pilafs. Buckwheat boasts higher levels of the essential minerals copper, iron, zinc, potassium and manganese than other cereal grains
