Amazing Benefits of Roasted Buckwheat

Buckwheat – a nutrient-packed, gluten-free seed that is now becoming increasingly popular in the Canada, Europe and UK due to its many health benefits.

While most people think of buckwheat as a whole grain, it’s actually a seed that is high in both protein and fiber. It supports heart and heart health and can help prevent diabetes and digestive disorders. In fact, buckwheat seeds, also called “groats,” are so packed with nutrients and antioxidants − like rutin, tannins and catechin −that they are often called “superfoods.”

Buckwheat is a great alternative to wheat. Buckwheat is a gluten-free grain, making it an excellent choice for those with celiac disease, gluten sensitivities, food allergies or for anyone undertaking a super-clean diet. It can be used as an alternative to rice or served as porridge and it’s higher in protein and fibre than other grains. Buckwheat is also lower on the glycemic index and results in less insulin release after consumption. It’s known to lower cholesterol and is a rich source of magnesium.

In Tibet, it is said that Buckwheat is "not only food but also medicine"

Can Protect from Asthma

The magnesium and vitamin E levels in buckwheat are both strong enough to support the claim that buckwheat protects children from developing asthma.

Studies show that children who don’t receive high levels of grains or grain-like foods are much more likely to develop asthma because they are deficient in certain anti-inflammatory nutrients, like vitamin E and magnesium.

17

Improves Gut Health

Rich in fiber, buckwheat can help constipation problems, but can also protect you from colon cancer. This is due to its low digestibility, when buckwheat proteins have fiber effects in the gut, and can also fill you up, and fasten the transit of food through the digestive system
Improves Gut Health
18

Reduces radiative stress

Studies have found that buckwheat is particularly high in a flavonoid called “rutin” that is developed in the plant to protect it from daily exposure to UV radiation (from the sun). This protective ability is transferred to the body when you eat it, helping shield your cells from harmful free radicals created by radiation exposure.
Reduces radiative stress
19

Improves Digestion

In terms of digestive aids, buckwheat is one of the best plants out there! Buckwheat has a high level of fiber, which adds bulk to your bowel movements, helping to move them through the digestive tract, and stimulating peristaltic motion, the muscle contraction of your intestines.
Improves Digestion
20

Lowers Cholesterol

In clinical studies, findings suggest that buckwheat can help lower inflammation and unhealthy cholesterol levels while helping to prevent heart disease.

Rutin, a phytonutrient found in buckwheat, is an important antioxidant for cardiovascular health. This phytonutrient supports the circulatory system and helps fight blood pressure and high cholesterol, as does the high fiber content of buckwheat
Lowers Cholesterol

Healthy Skin, Hair and Nails (prevents ageing)

Buckwheat is rich in B complex vitamins like thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine and folate. These essential vitamins give you healthy skin and hair.
