History of buckwheat
Buckwheat, including common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.) and tartary buckwheat or bitter buckwheat (Fagopyrum tartaricum (L.) Gaertn.), is one of only three important non-grass starchy grain crops. An important crop of marginal lands, buckwheat, is grown in nearly every country that cultivates grain crops and is usually consumed locally, but it is especially important in colder regions of high altitude or high latitude in Asia. It is mainly grown for the starchy white endosperm of its seeds which produces buckwheat flour used for pancakes and blini, and soba noodles (Japan). The whole hulled seeds are used as breakfast food and to thicken soups. Dehulled grains, milled to remove the pericarp, are used in kasha, a traditional Russian dish.
What are health benefits
Food Option for Celiac Disease
Buckwheat is a wonderful option for people with celiac disease or anybody else committed to eating a gluten-free diet. Far more than a simple alternative, buckwheat offers far more fiber, vitamins, and minerals than the rice products that are often used in gluten-free recipes.
Better Digestion
Buckwheat is rich in fiber. Fiber allows for regular bowel movements and reduces the potential for experiencing symptoms such as constipation. A diet high in fiber is sure to protect your digestive health.
Manage Blood Sugar
Buckwheat can play a valuable role in controlling blood sugar levels. The food is rich in nutrients such as proteins, fibers, and flavonoids. These nutrients found in buckwheat have reportedly helped people with type 2 diabetes manage the condition by improving insulin resistance.
Prevent Cardiovascular Disease
Studies indicate that people who regularly eat buckwheat products have lower cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood glucose levels. By helping to manage these risk factors, a diet rich in buckwheat helps to reduce your chances of developing cardiovascular disease.
