About Green buckwheat

Green buckwheat, a versatile and nutrient-rich pseudo-grain, originates from Asia and Eastern Europe, where it's been a dietary staple for centuries. Unlike roasted buckwheat groats, green buckwheat is raw, preserving its delicate flavor and natural nutrients. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, it is an excellent source of magnesium, phosphorus, and B vitamins. It boasts a high protein profile, containing all nine essential amino acids, making it a valuable option for plant-based diets. Green buckwheat is gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Rich in antioxidants and fiber, it supports digestion and heart health, while its low glycemic index helps regulate blood sugar levels. Though naturally healthy, moderation is key, as excessive consumption may cause bloating in some individuals. Enjoy it in porridges, salads, or baked goods, where its mild, nutty flavor shines.
