Buckwheat is kinda amazing. To avoid confusion, let me just clarify right now that buckwheat is not actually related to wheat.  Despite it’s common name and grain-like use, it is in fact a gluten-free pseudoseed (meaning it’s neither grain, nor grass, nor cereal).  Other pseudoseeds include quinoa, amaranth, and chia.
