Mustard Seeds
Mustard seeds are small, round seeds with a sharp, pungent flavor that mellows when cooked. They are a staple in many cuisines, particularly Indian, French, and American.
Buckwheat Groats
Buckwheat groats are the hulled seeds of the buckwheat plant, a fruit seed that is unrelated to wheat and naturally gluten-free. Despite its name, buckwheat is not a type of wheat but rather a pseudocereal that has been cultivated for centuries in Eastern Europe and Asia, particularly in regions like Russia and China. Its flavor profile is earthy and nutty with a slight bitterness that mellows when toasted. The texture is dense and chewy when cooked, offering a satisfying mouthfeel that stands up well in dishes. In cooking, buckwheat groats absorb liquid well and can be used in porridges, as a base for grain bowls, or even ground into flour for baking. They also brown nicely, enhancing their rich, roasted flavor.
