Benefits of Buckwheat
If you were to judge only by appearance, you probably would not be too impressed with buckwheat. In short, it is an average plant with small flowers that do not impress with anything distinctive. But that would be one big mistake. Buckwheat offers so many good things for our bodies that it is hard to fit them into one article.
Buckwheat (Fagopyrum in Latin) surprisingly comes from China and the area around the Himalayas. Its spread probably occurred during the wanderings of pagan raiders. It also got its name from them. The best-known species are the common buckwheat and the tartary buckwheat. The latter, in particular, is still very popular in Asia, where, in addition to a variety of dishes, it is also used to make a delicious tea-like drink.
Tartary buckwheat also contains a higher proportion of rutin. It is a chemical compound whose positive effect on the body has been confirmed by numerous studies. Buckwheat is especially recommended for celiacs. However, this gluten-free ''cereal'' is also ideal for those who do not tolerate caffeine. Last but not least, it is an important part of various diets. It is a rich source of fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals. Most importantly, it tastes great. Especially the roasted ones, which also have a pleasant nutty flavour.
If you want to prepare a traditional Asian infusion known as Ku Qiao Cha, Soba Cha or Memil Cha, pour hot water over the golden brown roasted grains and leave to infuse. You can enjoy a cup of this bright yellow, sweet-tasting drink two or three times a day. It is great in a warm version to warm you up, but try the iced version in the summer. Consume in moderation. There are no known side effects.
