Common buckwheat was domesticated and first cultivated in inland Southeast Asia and from there spread to Central Asia and Tibet, and then to the Middle East and Europe. Domestication most likely took place in the western Yunnan region of China.

As buckwheat contains no gluten, it may be eaten by people with gluten-related disorders, such as celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity or dermatitis herpetiformis. Nevertheless, buckwheat may have gluten contamination.

It’s used in buckwheat tea or processed into groats, flour, and noodles. The groats, used in much the same way as rice, are the main ingredient in many traditional European and Asian dishes.

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.

Easy to prepare, and I like it very much! There is no need for me to drive to the nearest Russian store, which is not very close. I usually spend a couple of hundreds of dollars when shopping at the store, which is would be a free delivery from this internet store, very convenient! I really enjoy everything I bought from Russian Food!
