Abstract

The village of Odranci (Prekmurje, Slovenia) is still remembered for its production of buckwheat groats. A special feature were the groats sellers, mainly women, who carried buckwheat groats (kasha or kaša) on foot or by bicycle from house to house or to fairs in various villages in the surrounding area, and further afield.
