Buckwheat hull pillows are the BEST!

To continue anecdote -

My brother pointed out that the pillow was stuffed with buckwheat *hulls* and not the actual buckwheat. Sister-in-law, never one to waste anything, posited that the cracked buckwheat would be just as good.

My brother, knowing what buttons to push, mentioned that having actual buckwheat in the pillow might cause it to attract insects. End of idea.

Brother-in-law who cooks was then gifted with 10lbs of buckwheat. I’m still making occasional batches of buckwheat pilaf.
