About Buckwheat Month
Retail , United States
Ends: Dec 31, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
December is Buckwheat Month. Buckwheat is cultivated for its grain-like seeds. Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and is actually a member of the rhubarb and sorrel family. It originated thousands of years ago in Central Asia, where it was a staple crop. From there, it spread to Europe and the Americas, brought over by Dutch and English settlers.
Historically, buckwheat was valued for its hardiness and ability to thrive in poor soils, making it an essential crop for many early farmers. It was trendy in areas where other grains struggled to grow. Over time, its popularity waned in favor of other cereals, but it has seen a resurgence in recent years due to its high nutritional value and suitability for gluten-free diets.
Cooking buckwheat is relatively straightforward. The seeds, often called groats, can be cooked similarly to rice or barley. They are typically rinsed and then simmered in water or broth until tender. Buckwheat can also be ground into flour, which is used in a variety of recipes.
Some of the most popular dishes featuring buckwheat include:
BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES—A staple in American breakfast menus, these pancakes use buckwheat flour, giving them a distinct, rich flavor and a hearty texture.
SOBA NOODLES—In Japanese cuisine, soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour. These thin noodles are served chilled with a dipping sauce or in hot broth as a noodle soup.
KASHA—An Eastern European dish where buckwheat groats are toasted and boiled until fluffy. Kasha is often served as a side dish, mixed with onions or mushrooms.
GALETTES—In France's Brittany, galettes are savory crepes made from buckwheat flour filled with cheese, eggs, ham, and other savory ingredients.
PIZZOCCHERI—An Italian pasta dish made from buckwheat flour and wheat flour, traditionally served with potatoes, cabbage, and melted cheese.
Buckwheat's ability to adapt to various soil conditions and climates and its role in crop rotation and soil health ensures its place in agricultural and culinary practices for years to come.
