Recipe for roasted buckwheat kernels

Toasted buckwheat kernels are a super healthy salad topping that adds a lovely nutty flavor and a nice crunch. Buckwheat kernels (which are actually a seed) are packed with fiber and protein, so they're a great way to add extra satiety to salads and soups.

Should you rinse buckwheat?

The hulls of buckwheat contain a dye that some people are allergic to. Therefore, it is important that you rinse the grains thoroughly before eating them. You do not need to boil the grains before roasting them, but remember to rinse them well.

Roasted buckwheat kernels as a salad topping

We love using roasted buckwheat kernels on top of salads. Here we use the delicious sprinkle over two of the salads from the cookbook Green Joy: Carrot- & fennel salad with two types of buckwheat and Outstanding autumn salad
