In our country, buckwheat is a staple food, but in Europe and the USA it is practically not consumed.

We tell you why Europeans and Americans don’t eat buckwheat.

Why don't people in Europe and the US eat buckwheat?

As life.ru reports, this is how it happened historically. In the US and European countries, buckwheat is grown mainly as feed for livestock.

That is why Europeans and Americans consider buckwheat unworthy of the human table.

And it is very much in vain. Buckwheat contains more than 50 substances necessary for humans, in particular, amino acids, fiber, zinc, calcium and phosphorus.

Buckwheat removes toxins, improves skin condition and even reduces the risk of developing cancer.

Buckwheat is valued in Asia, India, Nepal, and also in Israel, notes life.ru.
