Better Than Wheat. The '70-Day Bread' That Needs Zero Fertilizer.

Buckwheat goes from seed to harvest in just 70 days—while wheat takes seven months. For centuries, this fast-growing heritage grain was America's agricultural insurance policy. When crops failed, farmers could plant buckwheat in late summer and still harvest before winter. Today, most Americans have never tasted it, even though it fed our great-grandparents and remains a staple in Russia, Japan, and Eastern Europe. In this video, we explore buckwheat's remarkable history, why it nearly disappeared from American agriculture, and how you can grow this gluten-free, nutrient-dense grain in your own garden—even on poor soil with zero fertilizer.
