Kasha is a grain most often made from buckwheat, but can also contain other grains like millet, rye, oats, wheat, or barley. When cooked, this is a popular dish in Eastern Europe. This food can be eaten at any time of the day, but using leftover kasha is great for reheating to make a meal for breakfast.
