Buckwheat

Supplier From United States
Sep-24-23

Not belonging to the Poaceae botanical family, buckwheat is not classified as a true grain, but rather a pseudo-cereal. Its nutritional profile, nutty flavour, appearance and culinary applications have led it to be commonly referred to as a grain.

Buckwheat has played an important role in diets around the world, mainly in Asia and Eastern Europe for around 8,000 years. It is neither a grain popular with bucks or a relative of wheat, but rather, its seeds so closely resemble the much larger seeds of the beech tree that the plant has been called beech wheat, or buckwheat, ever since.

Nutrition credentials of buckwheat:

High in protein (13-15%), second highest only to oats, and rich in the amino acid lysine.
Rich in carbohydrates (mainly starch).
Rich in polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid.
Contains vitamins B1, C and E.
Contains higher levels of zinc, copper, and manganese than other cereal grains, and the bioavailability of these minerals is also quite high.
High in soluble fibre.
Provides a potential source of resistant starch, as certain treatments of buckwheat starch or foods containing buckwheat increase the amount of retrograded, non-digestible starch.
A rich source of polyphenol compounds.
Contains rutin, a bioflavonoid thought to help control blood pressure and possess anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties.
Gluten free.
