About Sarrasin

Sarrasin, commonly known as buckwheat, is a nutrient-packed seed often mistaken for a grain. Originating from Central Asia, it is a staple in cuisines like Russian blinis, Japanese soba noodles, and French galettes. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential amino acids, buckwheat is a versatile gluten-free option ideal for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. It boasts important minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and manganese, which support heart health, immunity, and energy production. Buckwheat’s low glycemic index makes it a great choice for stabilizing blood sugar levels, while its antioxidants, including rutin, promote vascular health. However, moderation is recommended as its caloric density can add up quickly in processed forms. Whether consumed as groats, flour, or noodles, sarrasin is a hearty and wholesome addition to balanced meals.
