Notes: Buckwheat, also known as common buckwheat, is a plant cultivated for its grain-like seeds and as a cover crop. A related and more bitter species, Fagopyrum tataricum, a domesticated food plant common in Asia, but not as common in Europe or North America is also referred to as buckwheat.
Despite the name, it is not related to wheat, as it is not a grass. Instead, it is related to sorrel, knotweed, and rhubarb. Because its seeds are eaten and rich in complex carbohydrates, it is referred to as a pseudocereal. The cultivation of the grain declined sharply in the 20th century with the adoption of nitrogen fertilizer that increased the productivity of other staples.

How is this vegan? It contains eggs….
Hi Erin,
Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve updated the recipe description to say “vegetarian” instead of vegan. I hope you find some other vegan recipes to enjoy. Here are a few you can try:
Fresh guacamole dip
Raw kale sale
Rainbow salad
Heartwarming vegetable soup (one of my favorites)
Green vegetable soup
Let me know if you enjoy them.
I’m excited to try this! I have Lyme disease, so am looking for gluten free and sugar free buckwheat muffins! I may have to substitute cranberry syrup for maple, since I don’t have. Thanks again!
Hi Marguerite,
Glad you found a recipe that you like and is “Lyme” friendly. Let us know how it turns out with the maple syrup.
