Buckwheats Best-kept Secrets

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Eating buckwheat may postpone your hunger pangs. According to USDA
study and other research, buckwheat will keep glucose levels in check
better than other carbohydrates.  Buckwheat gives you over 20% more
fiber than oatmeal. The total  dietary fiber content of buckwheat is
largely soluble fiber. This is  the type of fiber that many
nutritionists and medical experts believe  to be significant in helping
to lower cholesterol levels when  combined with a low fat diet.
Buckwheat is one of the best plant sources of protein. If you're
eating less meat, this can be especially important. Eggs are the
standard used to size up protein quality. Buckwheat as over 80% of  the
protein quality of eggs--with none of the cholesterol or fat.  Plus,
buckwheat is rich in lysine, one of the amino acids that is in  short
supply in most grains.  Buckwheat is a fruit, not a grain. As such,
it's wheat-free and  gluten-free.  This is healthful news for those
with celiac disease and  other less severe wheat allergies.  From
