Directions
The many forms of Buckwheat!:
Buckwheat Seed: It's a fruit, not a grain. Planted around the world.
Triangular hard hull. Fresh seeds can be sprouted; ready-to-eat in
about 5 days.
Kasha: Hulled and roasted to bring out distinctive, nutlike flavor.
Packaged four ways; whole, coarse, medium, fine.
Whole Buckwheat Groats: Hulled and unroasted. Mild-flavored. Better
than barley or rice!
Cream of Buckwheat: 100% pure groats milled to the size of sesame
seeds. Look like corn grits and other "cream of..." cereals, but
taste better.
Buckwheat Flour: Both light and whole buckwheat flour are 100%
buckwheat. Gluten-free. For fiber and flavor, each contains very
finely milled particles of buckwheat hulls (more in whole flour).

The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, we have some books which appeared in the 1300s ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of the time. For the next few years, the rich families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
