About Buckwheat groats
Buckwheat groats are nutrient-dense seeds derived from the flowering plant Fagopyrum esculentum, commonly cultivated in Asia and Eastern Europe. Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Rich in complex carbohydrates, fiber, and plant-based protein, buckwheat groats provide sustained energy and support digestion. They are a good source of essential minerals like magnesium, manganese, and copper, contributing to bone health and metabolism. High levels of rutin, a powerful antioxidant, promote heart health by improving circulation and reducing inflammation. While low in fat, they can be calorie-dense, so moderation is key for weight management. Buckwheat groats can be boiled and used as a healthy alternative to rice or pasta, featured in dishes like kasha or porridges in Russian and Polish cuisines, or incorporated into salads and baked goods for added texture and nutrition.
