Naturally gluten free: Buckwheat is a naturally
gluten-free whole grain so it’s the perfect choice for people who are on
gluten-free or gluten-intolerant diets.
Highly nutritious: Buckwheat is a very nutritious food:
it is rich in B vitamins as well as phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc,
copper and manganese. In fact, buckwheat contains higher levels of zinc,
copper and manganese than other cereal grains. The protein in buckwheat
contains the eight essential amino acids. Buckwheat is also high in
lysine and is a good source of the essential fatty acid Alpha-Linolenic
Acid.
Promotes digestive health: Buckwheat is high in soluble
fibre and helps to slow the rate of glucose absorption. It’s also a
potential source of resistant starch (a type of starch that escapes
digestion in the small intestine).
Unique flavour: Buckwheat brings crispiness and is very flavoursome, enhancing the savoury flavours of our galettes.
