What is Buckwheat?

Buckwheat is a pseudograin, meaning it’s not a true grain but is used similarly. Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is packed with nutrients, including complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. It’s also rich in resistant starch, which supports gut health. Additionally, buckwheat contains several flavonoid antioxidants that help protect the body from oxidative stress. Versatile and nutritious, buckwheat is a great addition to a healthy diet.
