About Kasha
Kasha, also known as buckwheat groats, is a nutritious grain-like food widely used in Eastern European and Russian cuisine. Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and is naturally gluten-free. Kasha is made by toasting or cooking hulled buckwheat kernels, resulting in a nutty flavor and hearty texture. Rich in fiber, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese, it supports heart health and digestive wellness. Buckwheat’s low glycemic index makes it a good option for stabilizing blood sugar levels. Packed with antioxidants, kasha may also help combat inflammation. As a versatile ingredient, it can be served as a porridge, side dish, or base for salads and pilafs. While undoubtedly healthy, portion moderation is key, as adding heavy fats or sugary toppings can offset its nutritional benefits. Kasha is a wholesome, energy-boosting staple that fits well into a balanced diet.
