Nutrition facts

Carbs are the main dietary component of buckwheat.

Protein and various minerals and antioxidants are also present.

 

Buckwheat scores low to medium on the glycemic index (GI) — a measure of how quickly a food raises blood sugar after a meal — and should not cause unhealthy spikes in blood sugar levels.

 

Some of the soluble carbs in buckwheat, such as fagopyritol and D-chiro-inositol, have been shown to help moderate the rise in blood sugar after meals.

 

Fiber

Buckwheat contains a decent amount of fiber, which your body cannot digest. This nutrient is good for colon health.

 

Protein

Buckwheat contains small amounts of protein.

Because of its well-balanced amino acid profile, the protein in buckwheat is very high quality. It is particularly rich in the amino acids lysine and arginine .

 

Vitamins and minerals

Buckwheat is richer in minerals than many common cereals, such as rice, wheat, and corn.

 

The most abundant minerals in common buckwheat are:

Manganese. Found in high amounts in whole grains, manganese is essential for healthy metabolism, growth, development, and your body's antioxidant defenses.

Copper. Often lacking in the Western diet, copper is an essential trace element that may benefit heart health when eaten in small amounts.

Magnesium. When present in sufficient amounts in your diet, this essential mineral may lower your risk of various chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Iron. Deficiency in this important mineral leads to anemia, a condition characterized by reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of your blood.

Phosphorus. This mineral plays an essential role in the growth and maintenance of body tissues.

Compared to other grains, the minerals in cooked buckwheat groats are particularly well absorbed.

Buckwheat is richer in minerals than many other pseudocereals and cereals. It’s high in manganese, copper, and magnesium but low in most vitamins.
