Breakfast Buckwheat cereal is a new take on traditional breakfast oatmeal.

Add your favorite toppings with fruit, nuts, and cinnamon spice! What is buckwheat?  The confusion about buckwheat is understandable, although buckwheat has the word wheat in it, buckwheat does not have wheat in it at all.

In fact, buckwheat is gluten free and low in FODMAPs (more about FODMAPs below).

Here is what the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says about buckwheat and other whole grains.

“Next time you go shopping, help keep your family healthy by choosing whole grains over refined grains.

Whole grains (such as buckwheat, brown rice, hominy and oatmeal) are more nutritious than refined grains because they contain the fiber-rich outer bran layer, the nutrient-packed germ and the starchy endosperm.”

from the article 5 Whole Grains to Keep Your Family Healthy.
