Buckwheat pancakes provoke nostalgia in those who remember growing up with buckwheat pancakes on the breakfast table."

The earthy flavor can offer a delightful twist on a stack of warm, fluffy pancakes and has been used to make porridge and noodle dishes in Asian countries. The flour is high in protein, fiber, and minerals and offers nutrients, like amino acids. Plus, the ingredient is gluten-free. When diner food is not an option"

Americans are taking to the socials to find restaurants that still serve up buckwheat pancakes.

I mentioned to the waitress that I wish they served buckwheat cakes all year," wrote one searching pancake lover."
