If you like the crunch of steel cut oats, you’re in for a real treat with overnight buckwheat groats. Even though “wheat” is part of the name, buckwheat groats are actually a fruit seed, a relative to rhubarb containing no wheat at all. They are a low glycemic pseudo grain packed with nutrition, and a great gluten free alternative to overnight oats.
