Buckwheat
(Buckwheat) The origin of buckwheat is believed to be central and western China. Many people think that buckwheat is a cereal grain, but it is actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel making it a suitable substitute for grains for people who are sensitive to wheat or other grains that contain protein glutens. Buckwheat is also highly nutritious, as can be seen in the nutritional chart. Roasted buckwheat groats are called kasha. Whole buckwheat can be used as a substitute for rice and cooked as a cereal. Buckwheat flour can be used in making oven cakes, pancakes, and breads.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
