+ Buckwheat is the seed of a plant related to rhubarb. Loved for its wholesome benefits and nutty flavour, the little pyramid-shaped kernels are light brown or green in colour. Buy raw buckwheat in the health food aisle of most supermarkets and at health food stores.

TIPS:
Keep these crackles in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
