The Jennings Family Buckwheat runs deep. This  family favorite with deep roots and love that connect us back to our father’s (Archie Jennings) roots in West Virginia, Home of the Preston County Buckwheat Festival that started October 13, 1938. There so much to say about these small berries related to rhubarb and sorrel, but we’re working on keeping things brief. It has ancient roots in China and throughout Asia, and can simply be served as an alternative to rice or made into porridge. We LOVE it in the form of buckwheat griddle cakes made on cast-iron, something of a religious commitment to the Archman as he’s had one for breakfast every day over the last 15 years! Buckwheat has so much good going for it in the nutrition category that it’s often referred to as the grain that’s good for your cardiovascular system. As with all whole grain foods, this flour should be stored in the refrigerator or freeze between uses to maintain freshness. Each bag of flour comes fresh and ready for all of your baking adventures!
