Buckwheat is loaded with nutrients and has an unique nutty earthy flavour. In addition, buckwheat flour is gluten free, leading people with gluten intolerance to seek it out as a flour alternative. Inclusion of buckwheat flour will also make a dish more nutritious, since buckwheat is high in fiber(which offers significant protection against breast cancer-according to WHFOODS), amino acids, protein, niacin, and vitamin B, among other things.
I am sending this to Carol's Gluten Free Photo Contest.

Hey Angie, what an awesome and unique post. I'm trying to eat more gluten free foods. I don't suffer from celiac, but I just want to be less gluten dependent. I'm bookmarking this...

This sounds interesting!Never did try anything with buckwheat.
These look so delicate, like snowflakes. I imagine them falling apart the minute you touch them, like snowflakes. They do sound very good though. I really want to try some of the alternative flours. Soon as I get a place to store them, I will. :)
Angie, these are amazing:)

They look like the perfect ferry for some delicious dips. Thanks for the gluten-free lesson too. I'd forgotten!

I love the health benefits of this! This looks wonderful. I have a number of friends who are either allergic to gluten or have cut it out of their diet. Great recipe!
These look fantastic! I'm always looking for that crunchy treat to nibble on, and these are perfect! Healthy and crispy - I love 'em!
I absolutely enjoy any cookie recipe that has a delicate crisp bite to it.
The fact that it even has a healthier kick to it...is pure luxury;o)
Great recipe...will certainly have to make these.
Flavourful wishes, Claudia
Awesome click..looks wonderfully yummy!!!
So crunchy ,perfect for snack time :D
These look terrific Angie! What a healthy and delicious treat. I ran out of buckwheat and went to the market this weekend to restock, and they were out too. Did you buy up all the buckwheat?
Buckwheat flour has a lovely flavor and is so versatile! That is one fabulous recipe!
Cheers,
Rosa
Wow. This is most definitely something my children would eat. I am always looking for snack foods (that I don't have to buy from the store) that are delicious and nutritious. I think that your recipe fits the bill! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, these almond crisps look so yummie, light, crunchy and so crispy...love the pictures as well :-)
These look amazingly crunchy and I do love almonds, so this one's a winner for me!
I don't have much experience with buckwheat, but sounds great!
I've never heard of buckwheat flour before....
but this looks delicious! It looks so light and crispy- the type of food which I could just keep eating and eating....=]
Looks very crispy and light. I bet it tastes great. Anything crispy, goes with me!
These flakes look awesome!! I love the inclusion of buckwheat. Definitely a healthier choice as snack! Got to try it out.
Wow they are simply fantastic. Love your space. I am sure gonna be here often :)
I rarely get to use buckwheat flour. But your recipe has inspired me to try the flour out. I may buy a bag of it when I swing by the grocery store soon. After all, it's nice to be gluten-free once in a while! Thanks for the inspiration!
Angie - these look lovely. Are they substantial enough to hold a dip or a spread - or do you just eat them on their own? Did you make the recipe up? I am truly amazed. Love the title, too! And they look like giant flakes.
:)

Valerie: My husband loves to eat the ice cream with these crisp cookies, while I prefer them just the way they are. The inspiration of this cookie recipe was from all the versatile Tuiles.
I simply can't take my eyes out from all your recipes, you are really a expert, very glad to follow you:-)
I am amazed by how thin these are! They look delicious!
These cookies are so delicate and incredibly versatile. I like that there are slices of almond in them.
Yum! Looks wonderful and delicious!
