1. Among cereals, buckwheat ranks first in its content of B vitamins, essential amino acids and trace elements.
2. Buckwheat is richest in iron, copper and vitamin P, i.e. bioflavonoids, including especially large amounts of quercetin.
3. Buckwheat proteins are easily soluble and digestible (no feeling of heaviness in the stomach), and the glucose and fructose in buckwheat give it a pleasant taste.

As specialists have been saying for decades: “Buckwheat contains everything”.

Buckwheat is considered one of the best natural foods for keeping you full – the body digests it slowly, so you don’t get hungry unnecessarily. Buckwheat is traditionally valued as a food that gives energy and stamina, and it is naturally rich in fibre, minerals and bioflavonoids.
