About Buckwheat grit

Buckwheat grits are buckwheat kernels broken into smaller pieces, typically with the hull removed. They range from coarse crumbs to small granules and are pale tan to greenish when raw; toasted grits are darker and more aromatic, with a nutty, earthy flavour.

They are cooked as a hot cereal, porridge, or grain component and generally soften faster than whole groats. The term does not set a single particle size or whether the grits have been toasted, both of which affect cooking and texture.
