What is buckwheat made out of? It is itself a seed, although most of us think of it as a gluten-free grain, just like brown rice or rolled oats. Like other seeds, it is high in both protein and fiber, although it’s unique among seeds that we typically eat in that it’s lower in fat and higher in starch.
