Description

Buckwheat, also known as beechwheat, might well be the next big superfood to hit the headlines. It is supercharged with a slew of health-boosting nutrients and phytochemicals, including B vitamins, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, copper, potassium, and selenium. It is also one of the best natural sources of rutin and D-chiro-Inositol, two phytochemicals that have been associated with a number of interesting health benefits. What's more, buckwheat groats (the hulled kernels) are generally well tolerated and rarely cause allergic reactions or other adverse effects in humans. Buckwheat groats are available at many health food stores and larger grocery stores in the US and UK, and these gluten-free kernels can be served as an alternative to rice or made into delicious buckwheat porridge.
