BUCKWHEAT
Buckwheat isn’t just for pancakes anymore…
The common Buckwheat plant (Fagopyrum esculentum) is commonly used as a grain-like crop. Despite its name, it is not related to wheat, and is actually one of the gluten-free grains that is safe for those suffering from gluten-intolerance and Celiac Disease. Because of this, buckwheat flour is often used as a gluten-free flour alternative in cooking, baking, and beer. Historically, buckwheat was used topically for the treatment of varicose veins. More recent research has found some interesting new benefits to buckwheat extract.
Fibre-like Effect
Buckwheat has been found to bind to cholesterol tightly in the digestive tract in a similar way to soluble fibre. Because of this, it can be used as a supplement or an addition to cooking and baking to help reduce blood cholesterol levels. It can also be used to help improve constipation and help to treat diabetes and obesity.
Antioxidant
Buckwheat is a relatively good antioxidant of its own right. Interestingly, once it undergoes digestion in the small intestine, it increases in antioxidant potential by over 80%. This allows buckwheat to help protect the body against aging and the side effects of a number of inflammatory conditions. For more information on the benefits of antioxidants, please see our antioxidants article.
How Can I Get Buckwheat?
One of the easiest ways to begin to take in more buckwheat is to substitute it into your baking in the place of normal wheat flour. There are also whole food supplements like green powders and bars that can provide a simple source. Some supplements will contain buckwheat extract for its added medicinal effects. Because the research is still new, the recommended dosage has not yet been established, although the amounts found in food are considered to be safe. For supplements, follow the recommended dosage provided on the bottle.
