Buckwheat

Did you know that Buckwheat is not a wheat at all? In fact it is gluten free! Buckwheat has a mild tangy flavor making it a great addition to any meal. I personally enjoy it in my morning smoothies, added in with any rice dish, or as a healthy garnish to my sandwiches and lettuce wraps.

Buckwheat is a very nutritious microgreen packing a high source of protein, antioxidants, flavonoids, carotenoids, and alpha-tocopherol. Not to mention it contains all eight essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.

When added to your daily diet it is said to have the potential to lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of breast and colon cancer, reduce risk of anemia, and aid in lowering blood pressure. Please see the link below to read a study on buckwheat microgreens.
