I'm suprised the wikipedia list omited Canada, a lot of buckwheat is
grown there, more than in the US. In the US the buckwheat capital is
New York's Finger Lakes area. I love buckwheat, I could live on
kasha.

Buckwheat used to be poor people's food but is now expensive. I used
to buy 50 pound sacks from Honeyville for just under $50 (their's is
grown in Canada... those low prices are now gone:

A 13 ounce box of Wolf's Kasha is now nearly $4 at markets.

Buckwheat is not a grain, botanically it's a berry.
For preparing kasha be sure to buy "Whole Granulation".
