History

Despite its name, buckwheat is not actually wheat, as it is not in the grass family. Buckwheat is a pseudocereal that is used in many similar ways that members of the wheat family are used. In fact, buckwheat is related to rhubarb, sorrel, and knotweed.

Buckwheat was first cultivated near the Tibetan plateau in southwest China. In this area, buckwheat is seen as a staple crop and is used for its medicinal properties as well. Traditional uses of buckwheat include: Soba noodles in Japan, buckwheat Wantuo in China, Mook in Korea, Chillare in India, and porridge and soups made from buckwheat are commonly incorporated into meals in Eastern Europe. Although buckwheat is used primarily as animal feed in the United States, it is still fairly popular as a pancake ingredient.

Health Benefits

Buckwheat contains essential amino acids (amino acids that we need but must obtain from our diet as we do not produce them ourselves), vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. Additionally, buckwheat is a rich source of prebiotics which are necessary food sources for the beneficial bacteria in our digestive tracts. A study conducted in Spain assessed the effects that buckwheat had on the healthy bacteria count in rats. The researchers found that the rats who were given buckwheat had higher numbers of healthy bacteria, like Bifidobacteria and Enterobacteria, compared to the rats in the control group who did not receive buckwheat in their diet.
