A few interesting facts about buckwheat... Buckwheat does not contain gluten and is therefore suitable for a gluten-free diet. It is even used to make gluten free beer. It has an amino acid composition nutritionally superior to all other cereals. Buckwheat contains rutin, a medicinal chemical that strengthens capillary walls, reducing haemorrhaging in people with high blood pressure. Buckwheat is a very good source of magnesium which is also important for a healthy cardiovascular system. It can be grown at very high altitudes - even on the Tibetan plateaux. |
