My grandmother made a dish similar to this which she called Chicken and Kasha.\u00a0 It\u2019s a simple hearty winter stew, and buckwheat<\/a> is a delicious and incredibly healthful food. Don\u2019t let its name fool you \u2013 buckwheat is a seed, not a grain, which is why the flour doesn\u2019t act like regular wheat flour in cooking.<\/p>\n

Milled buckwheat yields a powder that is far more absorbent than wheat flour, almost like a nut meal.\u00a0 Buckwheat is gluten free, and according to this study, it has four times more iron than rice flour, three times more calcium, over nine times more magnesium, and nearly six times more potassium.<\/p>\n

Buckwheat is also a very good source of manganese and dietary fiber, and the protein in buckwheat is a high quality protein, containing all eight essential amino acids.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re snowed in and looking for the perfect winter dinner that\u2019s almost effortless to prepare, this is it.<\/p>\n
