About Buckwheats
Buckwheat, despite its name, is not a type of wheat but a seed from the Fagopyrum esculentum plant, making it naturally gluten-free. Native to Central Asia, buckwheat has been cultivated for centuries and plays a significant role in cuisines like Japanese soba noodles, Russian blinis, and Eastern European kasha. Rich in nutrients, buckwheat is an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals such as magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus. It also contains antioxidant compounds like rutin, which can promote heart health. Its complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy while supporting digestive health. Buckwheat has a low glycemic index, making it a great option for stabilizing blood sugar levels. While highly nutritious, some processed buckwheat products may contain added sugar or salt, so choosing minimally processed varieties is recommended for maximum health benefits.
