I just noticed some yesterday. In the 'international foods' section.
And now I can't remember which 'inter-nation' it was in. [the one I
picked up was Wolff's, made in western NY]

I'll also note that Wolff's Kasha is ground, toasted buckwheat.
Buckwheat groats can be purchased whole at most healthfood stores.
there is little similarity between the products.

I don't remember what the original use was in this thread-- but I
don't think you can just sub one for the other.
