If you're thinking of trying this breakfast hack for yourself, here's what to look for when you head out to the grocery store. You have a lot of choices!
Raw Buckwheat Groats: Kernels are a mix of pale tan, ivory, and greenish in color. The flavor is mild and slightly grassy, with a hint of green tea.
Toasted Buckwheat Groats (also known as kasha): Kernels are brown; flavor is pleasantly earthy, toasted, and nutty, with a hint of rose.
Buckwheat Flour (finely milled toasted buckwheat groats): The flour is a slate-y, lavender brown with darker flecks. It should taste more like toasted groats than regular.
You can also find buckwheat cereal (coarsely milled raw groats) at markets, but it's not as versatile as the other forms. Nevertheless, if you buy and cook it, its creamy, slightly gelatinous texture makes for a nice porridge.
