If you are not a big buckwheat fun there here are three good reasons why you should include it more often on your diet:
a) diets rich in buckwheat lead to Lowe cholesterol levels, b) When researchers looked at how much fiber 35,972 participants in the UK Women’s Cohort Study ate, they found a diet rich in fiber from whole grains, such as buckwheat, and fruit offered significant protection against breast cancer for pre-menopausal women. More specifically those women eating the most fiber (>30 grams daily) more than halved their risk of developing breast cancer, enjoying a 52% lower risk of breast cancer compared to women whose diets supplied the least fiber , c) Studies have found they found that those who simply enjoyed a daily morning bowl of whole grain (but not refined) cereal had a 29% lower risk of heart failure. Isn’t your heart worth protecting, especially when the prescription—a morning bowl of hearty whole grains—is so delicious?
