What is buckwheat?

Despite its deceiving name, buckwheat is neither wheat nor grain – it’s a seed. To make things more confusing, it’s classified as a pseudo-cereal and often referred to as a grain. But buckwheat is more similar to amaranth, millet, or quinoa, which are tasty and nutritious seeds that are full of fiber and are gluten-free but get clumped into the grain department.

Health benefits of buckwheat

Buckwheat offers plenty of nutritious benefits. A higher fiber diet, in general, can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, and help aid in weight management. Incorporation of buckwheat in the diet is an excellent way to reduce chronic conditions as it is an essential component of a well-balanced diet.

Antioxidants are naturally occurring compounds that protect the body from harmful free radicals that can contribute to chronic diseases like heart troubles and even cancer. While many plant-based foods are rich in antioxidants, buckwheat is loaded with ones that may protect the heart, help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and provide other health benefits.

How to eat buckwheat

You can prepare buckwheat as you would rice or quinoa, or eat it as a breakfast porridge. Buckwheat can also be added to stir-fries or serve as a side dish.
