Pasta di grano saraceno, or buckwheat pasta, is a nutrient-rich alternative to traditional wheat-based pastas, commonly enjoyed in Italian and Eastern European cuisines. Made primarily from buckwheat flour, it is naturally gluten-free, making it a great choice for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Buckwheat is not a grain but a seed, packed with fiber, antioxidants, and essential nutrients like magnesium and manganese. It boasts a nutty, earthy flavor and a slightly denser texture, often used in hearty dishes such as Italian pizzoccheri or cold soba-style salads. High in protein and low on the glycemic index, buckwheat pasta helps promote stable blood sugar levels and sustained energy. However, some brands may include a small percentage of wheat flour, so it’s important to check labels if gluten-free is a priority. Pair it with nutrient-dense vegetables and protein-rich toppings for a balanced and flavorful meal.
