Buckwheat groats niEPAlona 1000g - VIVIO

Buckwheat is a highly valuable product that should be included in our diet as often as possible. The literature emphasizes that buckwheat has a particularly high protein content for a cereal. The groats contain as much as 13-14 g of plant protein. It's worth noting that buckwheat has a very balanced amino acid composition. It's even rich in sulfur-containing amino acids, which are deficient in most legumes. Studies have shown that buckwheat protein extracts can lower cholesterol levels. This fact can be extremely important in the prevention of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.
Starch, the most important complex carbohydrate in our diet, makes up the largest proportion of buckwheat grains' chemical composition. It is a valuable source of energy and, thanks to its high fiber content, guarantees a long-lasting feeling of satiety. Numerous studies have shown that fiber also plays an important role in regulating the function of the digestive system. It slows the absorption of simple sugars in the intestines, thus preventing a sudden rise in blood sugar levels. It also stimulates intestinal peristalsis, preventing constipation and diarrhea, and influencing the regulation of lipid metabolism.
Roasted buckwheat can also be a valuable source of mineral salts. Literature indicates that it contains large amounts of copper, manganese, and magnesium. These ingredients, among other things, contribute to the proper functioning of muscles and the circulatory system. It also contains significant amounts of phosphorus, zinc, selenium, and iron.

APPLICATION
Unroasted buckwheat takes a little longer to cook than roasted buckwheat. It's best cooked in a 1:2 ratio (one glass of porridge to two glasses of water). Sprinkle the groats with cold water, bring to a boil, and simmer covered until the grains have absorbed all the water. Instead of water, you can use milk, broth, or mushroom broth. We can also prepare white buckwheat without boiling. To do this, simply pour lukewarm water over it, pour in lemon juice, and let it sit, covered, overnight. In the morning, rinse the groats in a sieve. Repeat this process until the groats stop foaming. After draining, it is suitable for immediate consumption. In this form, it makes an ideal base for a light dessert or a nutritious breakfast with yogurt and fresh fruit.
Due to its delicate flavor, unroasted groats can be a great addition to both savory and sweet dishes. It pairs perfectly with various vegetables, making it a perfect addition to a vegetarian diet. You can also use it as a meat alternative to rice, potatoes, or pasta. White porridge can also be the basis for a healthy dessert. It tastes great with milk, yogurt, and fresh or dried fruit. It's also a great idea for a nutritious and wholesome breakfast.
