Buckwheat!

Did you know... baking with buckwheat flour can add a wonderfully distinct flavor to your muffins, cakes, breads and especially savory crepes! Buckwheat is not actually a grain but a relative of dock and rhubarb. It is low in gluten, has a fiber content comparable to whole wheat and is high in B vitamins, phosphorus and iron.
