Description
Buckwheat groats are commonly used in western Asia and eastern Europe.
The porridge was common, and is often considered the distinctive peasant dish.
It is made from roasted groats that are cooked with broth to a texture similar to rice or bulgur.
The protein found in buckwheat contains the eight essential amino acids.
Buckwheat is rich in B vitamins as well as phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper and manganese.
It is a good oil source of Alpha-Linolenic Acid, which is one of the two essential fatty acids we must have to be healthy.
Buckwheat is high in fiber. A single cup of cooked buckwheat groats contains over 4 grams of dietary fiber.
