Buckwheat is highly appreciated in low-glycemic diets. It is gluten-free and provides a high protein content. It is also a valuable source of vitamins and minerals: copper, phosphorus, zinc, calcium, as well as B vitamins. Rich in antioxidants, it contains phenolic acids and flavonoids whose anti-inflammatory effects boost cardiovascular health and could prevent certain cancers.
