FAQ
Buckwheat has a high mineral and antioxidant content, resulting in several health benefits. Buckwheat contains more protein than rice and has higher essential amino acids, including lysine and arginine (essential for children). Buckwheat is gluten-free, hence safe for people with a gluten allergy or celiac disease.
Soba is Japanese for buckwheat, which is a nutritious, grain-like seed that's gluten-free and — despite its name — unrelated to wheat. Soba noodles can be made solely of buckwheat flour and water, but more commonly also contain wheat flour and sometimes added salt.
Although a cup of soba noodles has 24 grams of carbs, it's less than traditional pastas and noodles. The high-fiber content helps to slow down how fast those carbs are digested, making it less likely to spike blood sugar levels.
Buckwheat is rich in complex carbohydrates that are packed with energy, and it also contains fiber and an array of essential vitamins and minerals, including magnesium (which many people are said to be deficient in), manganese, selenium, iron, niacin, folate, phosphorus and zinc.
