Buckwheat is a grain that has always been a part of our culture aka kuttu. It is one of those nutritious superfoods that are local to the northern part of India. It has now got a makeover and taken an avatar in the form of this new health food. Actually, it is not a grain but a seed.
Some of the health benefits of buckwheat include
- Good source of high-quality protein
- Gluten-free
- High in dietary fibre
- Rich is manganese and copper
With all the benefits that this wonder seed has to offer, I wonder why its normally used around Navratris mostly. We can use it to make rotis, pooris, pancakes etc. Babies can be given buckwheat after then turn 8 months old.
I have 2 breakfast recipes using buckwheat that can also double up as desserts if you sweeten them generously. Give them a go and tell us how your family enjoyed this superfood.
