The benefits of buckwheat

Buckwheat is a superfood of its own and while it possesses a number of nutrient-rich properties, we also recommend using Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat in this recipe to boost your nutrient profile even further. Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat is a gluten-free, nutrient-rich superfood that is a good source of protein, fiber, and minerals.

Research has shown that Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat contains powerful antioxidants including quercetin, rutin, and luteolin, that can help protect against disease and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat may help improve brain function, lower cholesterol levels, and regulate blood sugar levels.
