Question: what is the difference between buckwheat and spelt flour?
Answer: Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) looks like a grain and tastes like a grain but isn't one. ... Unlike buckwheat, spelt (Triticum spelta) is a true grain with a flavorful nutty taste. It is an ancestor of wheat, which means that it does contain gluten and is off-limits to those on gluten-free diets.
