About Buckwheat
A nutritious coarse grain, relatively high in protein and fiber.
Health Benefits of Buckwheat
Good protein content
100g of buckwheat has about 11.6g protein - high among grains - with a fairly balanced amino-acid profile that includes lysine (often lacking in common grains). Buckwheat is gluten-free, suiting those who avoid gluten.
Rich in fiber and micronutrients
Buckwheat contains rutin, a flavonoid antioxidant. It also has about 6.5g/100g fiber, far above refined grains, helping satiety.
Mixing with rice improves protein use
Use buckwheat in porridge, rice, or ground into noodles (e.g., Japanese soba). Cook buckwheat rice at a 1:2 ratio with rice; buckwheat tea is also a common drink.
