Benefits

Buckwheat isn’t wheat but it’s a grain for sure! (Technically it’s a seed but let’s go with it.) Nutty, earthy and oh so versatile it’s a staple in my pantry. I love whipping up a bowl of buckwheat porridge for breakfast or using it as a base for grain bowls. My kids call it “tiny triangles” and it’s always a winner in pancakes or waffles. Packed with nutrients and gluten free buckwheat is the kind of ingredient that just makes your meals better while keeping it wholesome and tasty. Here are the perks:

  1. Heart Healthy: High in rutin which helps to strengthen blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
  2. High in Fiber: Good for digestion and keeps you fuller for longer so great for weight management.
  3. Gluten Free: Safe for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance while being nutrient dense.
  4. Blood Sugar Control: Low glycemic index helps to regulate blood sugar levels so diabetic friendly.
  5. Mineral Rich: High in magnesium, manganese and zinc for bone health, energy production and immunity.
