Discover the benefits of buckwheat

1

Buckwheat has a unique nutritional profile that contains a significant amount of antioxidants, including rutin, a compound shown to be protective against inflammation, cardiovascular disease and cancer. 2 Buckwheat is one of the few plant-based foods that contains all nine essential amino acids. One cup of cooked buckwheat groats has six grams of high-quality protein, a form that’s easily digested and absorbed.

3

A quarter cup of buckwheat contains eight percent of your recommended daily intake of iron. Pair it with vitamin C–rich foods, like citrus fruit, to help boost iron absorption.

4

The bran of buckwheat groats has more soluble fibre than wheat or oat bran, which lowers blood cholesterol levels and helps keep you feeling full.
