Buckwheat is rich in high quality protein.It's also high in dietary fiber and is a good source of iron, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc and potassium. It also provides a good amount of B vitamins.
If you are gluten intolerant, make sure the package says 100% buckwheat as some brands mix buckwheat with wheat.
