Buckwheat is cultivated for its grain-like seeds but, despite its name, it is not related to wheat as it is not a cereal or grass. Instead, buckwheat is related to sorrel, knotweed and rhubarb.

Buckwheat flour is a finely ground dark flour high in vitamins and minerals, containing 25 mg calcium, 2.4 mg iron, 150 mg magnesium and 346 mg potassium per half cup. It also contains healthy amounts of copper, manganese, niacin and folate.

A cup of buckwheat flour contains 12 grams of fibre, which helps to keep the digestive system healthy and plays a role in reducing the risk of diabetes and heart disease, according to The Harvard School of Public Health. Buckwheat also contains the antioxidant rutin, which can aid circulation and help prevent blood vessels from becoming blocked. Due to its fat content, buckwheat goes rancid quickly so is best stored in a sealed bag in the refrigerator for use within a few months. You’ll find it at health stores.

Try: rosemary buckwheat pancakes with wilted spinach, butternut and apple.

This authentic mozzarella is made from the milk of water buffalo in central Italy, but is also made in South Africa by a company called Buffalo Ridge.

It is softer, less rubbery and has a stronger flavour than cow’s milk mozzarella.

Its subtle flavour makes it perfect to be torn up in fresh salads and it melts superbly in the oven and is often used in traditional Italian margarita pizzas.

Try it in bubble bread with peaches and buffalo mozzarella or in buffalo mozzarella, fig and prune pizza with purple basil and caper berries.

Buy your buffalo mozzarella from Woolworths.

Bulgur or burghul is cracked wheat – wheat that has been parboiled, parched and coarsely ground. It is commonly used in the Middle East, especially for making the delicious salad, tabbouleh. 

Use it as the basis for pilaf, to make porridge (it takes less time to cook and has a more tender texture) or soups, or to stuff vegetables. For use in tabbouleh, it only needs a 20-minute soaking in water.

Try a tabbouleh or Moroccan infused vegetable terrine with roasted pine nuts.
