Buckwheat, contrary to what it's name implies, is not a type of wheat. It is a grass that is cultivated mostly for it's seeds, and is also used as a cover crop. Buckwheat is related to rhubarb and sorrel.

Can you substitute kibbled wheat for buck wheat in a bread recipe?

Yes, you can substitute kibbled wheat for buckwheat in a bread recipe, but keep in mind that the flavor and texture may differ. Kibbled wheat is more similar to cracked wheat and will provide a different chewiness and nuttiness compared to buckwheat. Adjust the liquid in the recipe as needed, as kibbled wheat may absorb moisture differently. It's also worth noting that kibbled wheat contains gluten, while buckwheat is gluten-free, so the final bread's structure will change.
