Nutrition Facts: Buckwheat is a rich whole grain food. It keeps the heart healthy and provides the body with essential dietary fiber.
To ensure a diet is “heart healthy,” it is recommended to consume 7 to 8 servings of rich whole grains (whole grain wheat, barley, buckwheat, whole grain couscous, etc.) and 4 to 5 servings of unsalted nuts (walnuts, pistachios, almonds, etc.) every week.
