Field of Buckwheat

I love to eat buckwheat noodles called "soba".  New flour has nutty smell stimulating my appetite.Next month, I can use it to make soba noodles by hand.

  2. The attractive buckwheat flowers betray the fact that buckwheat is not a true grain. I also like to make noodles by hand--they have a much different texture; really a different product from dried noodles.

  3. I think I've had soba noodles before--I just didn't know that's what they're called. It's neat to see where they came from. Lovely!

  4. What a lovely field of Buckwheat. These white flowers are so pretty. I'm not familiar with soba, but I think it's great that you make the noodles by hand.

  5. Well those white flowers are so lovely to look at ...

    I hope you enjoy your noodles. I make mine (we call them zoodles) using courgettes/zucchini.

    All the best Jan

  6. What a beautiful field! The flowers are so pretty! I did not know soba noodles were made of buckwheat. How wonderful to have home-made noodles. I grew buckwheat one year in my garden as a 'cover crop' in the fall to add nitrogen to the soil when tilled. It was easy to grow! Enjoy your noodles :)

  8. I hope this finds you and yours doing well. May we display your header on our new site directory? As it is now, the site title (linked back to its home page) is listed, and we think displaying the header will attract more attention. In any event, we hope you will come by and see what is going on at SiteHoundSniffs.com.

    Your home-made noodles must be delicious! I'm so glad you sowed us this lovely field so I could see more of where you live :)

  12. The field of white flowers is beautiful and have never seen a buckwheat field. I enjoy the soba noodles and have never made them.
    I actually have a buck wheat pillow.
    Enjoy your week

  15. Hi Ela,
    The white color carpet is composed of many small petals.

    Hi Jim,
    I was wondering if you would show me your handmade noodles.

    Hi Margie,
    I hope you have more chances to enjoy variety of soba.

    Hi Sheri,
    Please try soba noodles.

    Hi Jan,
    I have not had zoodles. It must be tasty.

    Hi B.E.
    Thanks for your comment. I have not known buckwheat is planted as cover crop.

  16. I always admire white flowers. For me, they symbolize purity and simplicity. I am not familiar with buckwheat noodles but I love to learn about it.:) Maybe I already saw them but I just don't know the name.

    Thanks for dropping a line by my site.:)
