Five interesting facts about the benefits of buckwheat
1. Buckwheat protein is close to animal products in terms of essential amino acids and is therefore considered an almost equivalent substitute for meat.
2. Buckwheat stabilises blood sugar levels. After eating buckwheat porridge, the sugar level rises slowly, not suddenly, as with other carbohydrate products.
3. Buckwheat groats are rich in folic acid, which helps to increase the body’s overall resistance to adverse environmental factors.
4. Buckwheat is an environmentally friendly product. It is perhaps the only plant that has not been genetically modified. Buckwheat does not contain any nitrates, pesticides or herbicides. This plant simply does not need chemicals.
5. One of the most important properties of buckwheat is its protection against cancer. Thanks to the flavonoids it contains, buckwheat prevents the growth of tumours. This is especially important in the current environmental situation.
