Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), or common buckwheat is a plant cultivated for its grain-like seeds and as a cover crop. The name "buckwheat" is used for several other species, such as Fagopyrum tataricum, a domesticated food plant raised in Asia. Despite its name, buckwheat is not closely related to wheat. It is not a cereal, nor is it even a member of the grass family. Buckwheat is related to sorrel, knotweed, and rhubarb, and is known as a pseudocereal because its seeds' culinary use is the same as cereals, owing to their composition of complex carbohydrates.
Zefir (Russian: зефи́р) is a type of soft candy made by whisking sugar and egg whites with fruit and mulberry puree (mostly applesauce), followed by the addition of a gelling agent such as pectin, carrageenan, agar or gelatin. It is usually produced and sold in two northern European countries, Estonia and Latvia. It is also known in the countries of the former Soviet Union. The name comes from the Greek mythology god Zephyros.
