About Buckwheat
Buckwheat, despite its name, is a gluten-free seed rather than a grain, originating from Central Asia and commonly used in Russian, Japanese, and Eastern European cuisines. Rich in essential nutrients, it is packed with protein, fiber, and antioxidants, making it a great choice for heart health and sustainable energy. Buckwheat contains magnesium, manganese, and B vitamins, which support bone health, metabolism, and brain function. It is especially valued for its unique plant compound, rutin, which promotes blood circulation and reduces inflammation. Buckwheat flour is a staple in gluten-free baking, while whole buckwheat groats are used as a hearty grain alternative in salads, porridge, and side dishes. On the downside, buckwheat is calorie-dense, so moderation is key for those monitoring weight. Overall, its nutrient-rich profile makes buckwheat an excellent addition to a balanced diet.
