- In terms of the content of essential amino acids, buckwheat protein is close to animal products and is therefore considered an equivalent substitute for meat. At the same time, buckwheat is absorbed much better.
- Buckwheat stabilizes blood sugar levels. After eating buckwheat porridge, the sugar level rises slowly, not abruptly, as when eating other carbohydrate products.
- Buckwheat is rich in folic acid, which helps increase the body’s overall resistance to adverse environmental factors.
- Buckwheat is an environmentally friendly product. This is perhaps the only plant that has not been genetically modified. There are no nitrates, pesticides, or herbicides in buckwheat. This plant simply does not need chemicals. It grows well without fertilizers, and it copes with weeds and pests without outside help.
- One of the most important properties of buckwheat is protection against cancer. Due to the flavonoids it contains, buckwheat prevents the growth of tumors. This is especially important in the current environmental situation.
In addition to anti-cancer properties, the use of buckwheat reduces the risk of thrombosis, helps cleanse blood vessels of “bad” cholesterol and prevents the development of cardiovascular diseases.
