However, lets talk about this delicious and super healthy Italian Wedding Soup with Buckwheat Dumplings & Zoodles! As some of you may know, I have a few other recipes with buckwheat, although mostly with the roasted. Only one recipe the STUFFED ACORN SQUASH is made with raw buckwheat.
The roasted buckwheat is also called KASHA, which I love especially for porridge, such as BUCKWHEAT PORRIDGE. Yet, for these dumplings I decided to use the raw buckwheat groats and they turned out excellent! I f you would like t find out more about this superfood, please follow read HERE.
