Food to Live Organic Buckwheat Groats, 1 Pound – Whole Grain Buckwheat Seeds by Food to Live. Hulled, Non-GMO, Kosher, Raw, Vegan, Sirtfood. Buckwheat Cereal in Bulk

Buckwheat, also called jadrica, gryczana kasza, grechka, and kasha, is an amazing food which is really good for you. As it's not a grain but a fruit seed, it can be used to substitute grains for people with sensitive stomachs. It usually comes in two forms, flour or groats. Note that groats are the hulled seeds of the buckwheat plant that are used for cooking.

Although it's not exactly Paleo, the Certified Organic Buckwheat from Food to Live® can be used as a protein source in a vegetarian-Paleo diet if the seeds are soaked or sprouted prior to eating.

Buckwheat is extremely healthy and a real nutritional powerhouse. It contains manganese, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, and other minerals. Every cup of cooked groats also has only 1g of fat and 155 calories, while it gives you 6g of protein and 5g of fiber.
