Until a few years ago, I had never even heard of buckwheat. Now it’s a go to for us for baked goods. It offers a much wider array of …
In my small since all the grocery stores closed and on have Wally World, it has been hard to get alternatives. I grab whatever I can but buckwheat, and a few others are hard to get. I finally got a buckwheat pancake mix from a neighboring small city. I hate to order online all the time. Thanks for the recipe because I just got almond flour last week, Many Blessing 💝💫
Buckwheat pancakes are delicious
Good information, I did not know it was not a Grain, thank you, I enjoy your utube.
I bet you didn't know that in the Northern states like Maine and maybe others & in my area of Woodstock New Brunswick Canada just west of Maine that buckwheat was once so common that it was used for insulation in the big old farmhouses of the area for 100's of years. I grew up in a house that was warm as toast no matter how cold it got in the dead of Winter and cool as could be in the Summer. Completely insulated walls & ceiling/ attic with likely 1000s of barrels of buckwheat hulls. Imagine being able to literally grow your own insulation?!?!
The hulls were dumped in the walls after it was built from the top. You simply dumped or shoveled it into the spaces between each pair of 2×4 or 2×6 studs & every crack & crevass was filled. More would be added as they settled or at least checked yearly from the top. The only drawback was when you needed to cut a hole in the wall to perhaps add a plug in or light switch box all the hulls would pour out of just the one section, about 16"-2ft wide, down to that spot. It was easy to fix though because after the work was done you simply shoveled or swept them up and poured them back in the wall space from up in the attic. It sure was a surprise to the electrician the 1st time he cut a hole in a wall though because he hadn't had any issues fishing a wire through it thats for sure. If you wanted to install a window during construction you simply filled it up to the window hole (you'd have to eithor board that section in early or put perhaps cardboard or tar paper up to hold the hulls in until you built the entire inside wall) put in the window & fill over the window after the construction was completed. If the hulls did happen to get a little wet from maybe a roof leak, they didn't apparently mold in this area but would simply drain quickly and dry out. I know we didn't have any issues insuring these homes but I'm not sure about if you wanted to use it in modern construction. I don't think they burned any quicker than any other building & I'm positive they didn't put of any poisonous gases eithor by burning or just being in the houses themselves. They also didn't have any food value so didn't attract mice or other creatures or insects either.
The first thing to know even about flour is how the nutritional factors dissipates as time expires. The best is to grind it and then use it and not keep it in the powdery state.
