Did you know that buckwheat is not only not inferior to such a trendy superfood as quinoa in its properties, but also surpasses it in some aspects?

This is the opinion of Russian doctors who compared both cereals.

According to their conclusion, both contain high amounts of dietary fiber and protein.

But buckwheat, unlike quinoa, which is popular among healthy lifestyle advocates, is less caloric.

That's not all - buckwheat contains bioavailable zinc, copper and manganese.

Experts are convinced that buckwheat porridge for breakfast or a side dish of this cereal for lunch or dinner have many advantages.

For example, this product, when included in the diet, improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and nervous system.

Buckwheat can also lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of diabetes.

If you want to “take advantage” of all of the listed qualities of buckwheat, be careful when cooking the cereal and do not overcook it.
