Description

Buckwheat is the queen of grains and the best doctor! There is no shortage of microelements in buckwheat: it contains iron (which helps in the formation of red blood cells and contributes to a healthy complexion), potassium (which supports optimal blood pressure), calcium (your main ally in the fight against cavities, brittle nails, and fragile bones), and magnesium (which helps combat depression and assists in weight management), along with many other minerals. It is an essential component of a healthy diet, grown without chemicals. Buckwheat grains contain easily digestible proteins — up to 16% (including essential amino acids like arginine and lysine), carbohydrates — up to 30%, and fats — up to 3%, as well as fiber, malic, citric, and oxalic acids, and B vitamins, PP, and R. Doctors value buckwheat for its high rutin content. This substance strengthens the walls of blood vessels, stops bleeding, and has preventive and therapeutic effects on veins, such as in cases of varicose veins and hemorrhoids. In connective tissues, rutin strengthens the smallest blood vessels. Therefore, buckwheat porridge is extremely beneficial for various vascular diseases, rheumatic conditions, and arthritis. It improves circulation and strengthens the immune system. Buckwheat porridge helps eliminate excess cholesterol from the body (meaning that buckwheat lovers are less at risk for senile dementia and heart problems) and removes toxins and heavy metal ions from the body, which is especially relevant for residents of megacities and areas with poor ecology. Nutritionists recommend including buckwheat in the diets of those suffering from anemia, diabetes, and obesity; it is an indispensable dish for nervous and cardiovascular system diseases and liver dysfunctions. Buckwheat is valued for its ability to support vision and cerebral circulation. In general, it’s not just porridge, but a real natural pharmacy, and thus, buckwheat can easily be used as an alternative to medications. If you intend to truly treat yourself with buckwheat, then buy unroasted grains, which are pale yellow in color. However, remember that to preserve all its beneficial properties, buckwheat must be cooked properly.

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Rinse the buckwheat and pour 2 cups of boiling water over it. Add salt, cover with a lid, and wrap it in a towel. After 45–60 minutes, the buckwheat will be ready to eat and will retain all its nutritional value. It's best to do this overnight.

Step 2

In a serving bowl, combine the required amount of soaked buckwheat with olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice or chopped lemon, and chopped herbs. Mix well.
