Product Description


What is buckwheat pasta?
Also known as soba noodles, buckwheat noodles are a type of Japanese pasta typically served cold. They're also lower in both calories and carbs than other pastas. “When compared to eating regular white pasta, switching to buckwheat noodles can cut your caloric intake in about half,” Mass says. However, make sure that “buckwheat” is the only ingredient and not a blend of multiple processed flours with some buckwheat thrown in there. As long as the pasta is 100 percent buckwheat and made in a facility that does not processes wheat, buckwheat noodles are actually both wheat and gluten free.

Health benefits of buckwheat
Over time, high levels of blood sugar may lead to various chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes.
Thus, moderating the rise in blood sugar after meals is important for maintaining good health.
As a good source of fiber, buckwheat has a low to medium GI. This means that it should be safe to eat for most people with type 2 diabetes.
In fact, studies link buckwheat intake to lower blood sugar in people with diabetes.
This is supported, buckwheat concentrate was shown to lower blood sugar levels by 12–19%.
This effect is thought to be due to the unique compound D-chiro-inositol. Studies indicate that this soluble carb makes cells more sensitive to insulin, the hormone that causes cells to absorb sugar from your blood.
In addition, some components of buckwheat seem to prevent or delay the digestion of table sugar.
