“If we may digress a moment, let us say that modern milling has ground the old-time itch out of the buckwheat before it is put into the bag that goes into the store. No doubt that’s as it should be.

Now this modern tone-down of the buckwheat flour of today rather handicaps the housewife of 1952 in turning out a batch of buckwheat cakes—that is, as far as the flour reckons in the recipe. And, that’s a big item. Well, while laying the mildly buckwheaty taste to modern milling methods, perhaps we’re barking up the wrong tree. We haven’t tapped the soil and seed experts on this, but it might be the modern way of treating soil puts a handicap on the buckwheat seed when it’s sown.”
