Buckwheat

Product of Canada

  • High Nutritional Value: Buckwheat seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients, offering a high content of protein with all essential amino acids, making it an excellent plant-based protein source. They are also rich in dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness, contributing to weight management.
  • Rich in Antioxidants: Buckwheat seeds are abundant in antioxidants, such as rutin, quercetin, and tannins. These compounds can help combat inflammation and reduce the risk of various chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer. Rutin, in particular, strengthens blood vessels, improving circulation and lowering blood pressure.
  • Heart Health Benefits: The high fiber content, antioxidants, and magnesium in buckwheat seeds contribute to cardiovascular health. They can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, maintain healthy blood pressure, and reduce the risk of heart disease when included as part of a balanced diet.
  • Blood Sugar Control: Buckwheat seeds have a low glycemic index (GI), meaning they cause a slower rise in blood sugar levels compared to high-GI foods. This makes them an excellent dietary choice for people managing diabetes or looking to maintain steady blood sugar levels, helping to prevent spikes and crashes.
