Elusive Buckwheat

nell2

I am doing a lot of recipes from my old Cranks recipe book at the moment and several in their call for Buckwheat. (Not buckwheat flour). It's also known as Saracen wheat apparently and is a seed really not a grain, although all that is by the way.
My problem is that I can't find it anywhere. Does anywhere know where I can buy it?

Search for Buckwheat Groats on Google, there's a couple of places selling them.

you can get buckwheat flakes from holland and barrett. I got some from there last week as I use them to make coeliac friendly flapjacks.

My local Tesco has Buckwheat... it's in the section with bags of dried pulses etc.

Yep, my local Tesco has it too, in the "Wholefoods" Section.

Most health food shops will sell it. I buy it for Cranks recipes too - Lentil and Buckwheat Slice and Buckwheat bake - both yummy!
