Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is a plant cultivated for its grain-like seeds, and also used as a cover crop. To distinguish it from a related species, Fagopyrum tataricum, (that is also cultivated as a grain in the Himalayas, primarily in Nepal, Bhutan and India and from the less commonly cultivated Fagopyrum acutatum), it is also known as Japanese buckwheat and silverhull buckwheat. These soft white seeds have a mild flavour, but when toasted or roasted, they have a delightfully intense flavour. Weight: 500 g. Store in a cool dry place.
