What Is Buckwheat?

Buckwheat is often mistaken to be a type of wheat when, in fact, it is a seed from a flowering plant of the same name. It dates back to nearly 6,000 years and is said to have originated somewhere in Southeast Asia before spreading to other parts of Asia and Europe. It finally made its way to parts of Northern America some time around the 18th century. It is a tough crop known to withstand and adapt to diverse climates. It has a short growth cycle, which makes it a sought-after ingredient during brutal seasons or times of food scarcity. Buckwheat has experienced a culinary resurgence in modern times, especially because of its gluten-free, plant-based, and sustainable status.

Buckwheat Nutrition Facts*

Buckwheat is energy-dense and is high in various vitamins and minerals. A cup of buckwheat (170 grams) contains 583 calories and 122 grams of carbohydrates. It also contains the following nutrients*:

  • 23 grams of protein
  • 15 grams of fiber
  • 30 milligrams of calcium
  • 4 milligrams of iron
  • 393 milligrams of magnesium
  • 590 milligrams of phosphorus
  • 782 milligrams of potassium
  • 51 micrograms of folate

*Values sourced from USDA, Buckwheat

Buckwheat contains all the amino acids and can be considered a complete protein.

This pseudocereal is also loaded with phytochemicals.

Studies reveal that whole buckwheat contains 2-5 times more phenolic compounds than oats or barley (1).

Moreover, buckwheat bran and hulls have 2-7 times higher antioxidant activity than barley, oats, and triticale (1).

Buckwheat contains more rutin when compared to other grain crops. Quercetin, orientin, kaempferol-3-rutinoside, vitexin, isovitexin, and isoorientin have been identified in buckwheat hulls as well (1).

Buckwheat seeds also contain fagopyrins and fagopyritols. Fagopyrins are photo-sensitivei  The property characterized by a change in the chemical composition of a particular substance when exposed to light. substances present in very low quantities in buckwheat. Fagopyritols are carbohydrate compounds accumulated in the embryos of these seeds (1).

Here’s the interesting part.

Most cereals and pseudocerealsi  A class of plants that produces starchy seeds or fruits that can be consumed the same way as cereals. contain a considerable amount of anti-nutrients. Anti-nutrients interact with nutrients to prevent their proper absorption and trigger undesirable effects in your body.

But buckwheat has no trace of phytic acid, a common anti-nutrient. Hence, you can have these seeds without worrying about a cross-reaction or a loss of nutrients.

Adding buckwheat to your daily meal can offer certain health benefits. In the following section, we will look at these benefits and what research tells us about them.

protip_icon Trivia
Buckwheat is called a pseudocereal because it is not a grain but the fruit seeds of the buckwheat plant.

What Are The Health Benefits Of Buckwheat?

Buckwheat reduces tthe risk of heart dieases.

The phytonutrients in buckwheat help in the treatment of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Regular consumption of these groats may also relieve constipation.

1. May Improve Insulin Sensitivity And Manage Diabetes

Animal studies show that buckwheat can lower blood glucose levels.

Buckwheat contains rutin, quercetin, d-chiro-inositol, and other similar biochemicals that may have a positive impact on the glucose levels in your body. In mice studies, ethanol extracts of buckwheat were found to treat insulin resistance (2).

In rat studies, buckwheat concentrate could lower serum glucose levels. Therefore, buckwheat may be useful in diabetes treatment (3).

Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) has the highest quercetin and rutin content among all the buckwheat species. As per mice studies, its alcohol extract can increase the levels of antioxidant enzymes in the liver (2).

Including buckwheat in your diet could be a safe way of regulating diabetes and insulin sensitivity.

2. May Mitigate Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Risk

Buckwheat may lower cholesterol levels, which may otherwise lead to cardiovascular disease.

The rutin in buckwheat is a well-studied cardioprotective flavonoid. Along with quercetin, protein, and fiber, this flavonoid lowers the risk of heart diseases. Despite having low digestibility, buckwheat may lower risk factors for cardiovascular disease (4).

Buckwheat may help lower blood glucose levels and levels of total cholesterol and triglyceridesi  Most common fat type in the body, high levels of which can raise the risk of a heart attack or stroke. . Higher levels of these can elevate CVD risk (4).

However, whether the intake of buckwheat can have a similar impact on other CVD risk factors like body weight and LDL cholesterol is unclear (4).

Buckwheat flavonoids can interfere in various pathways that may lead to cardiac discomfort. In rat studies, buckwheat rutin was found to inhibit the abnormal enlargement of the heart muscle (a condition called cardiomyocyte hypertrophy) (5).

3. May Possess Anticancer Properties

Buckwheat has anti-cancer properties.

The protein and amino acids in buckwheat may aid cancer prevention.

Buckwheat protein is rich in amino acids like lysine and arginine. In a study conducted in China, buckwheat proteins – in combination with polyphenols – induced cell death (apoptosis) in several mouse cell lines. They could counter the proliferation of cancer cells in the colons of rats (6).

A novel protein, TBWSP31, isolated from tartary buckwheat extracts, might exhibit antiproliferative propertiesi  Tending to inhibit cell growth, especially the growth and spreading of cancerous cells into the surrounding tissue. against human breast cancer cell lines. The cells showed physical changes that are the typical characteristics of dying cancer cells (6).

Buckwheat hull was also reported to have anticancer effects in mice studies. Extracts of buckwheat hull showed relatively high cancer cell growth-inhibition rates. It is suggested that the buckwheat hull may possess anticancer activity against a variety of cancer cell lines (7).

4. May Relieve Constipation And IBD

Buckwheat proteins also exhibit laxative effects. In rat studies, buckwheat protein extract was found to be a useful agent for the treatment of undesirable constipation (8).

Buckwheat is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Having it fermented or unfermented may tone down intestinal inflammation. However, we need more human trials and animal studies to further determine these effects (9).

Some anecdotal evidence suggests that buckwheat may cause gas in some individuals. If you experience any symptoms, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

5. May Help Treat Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Buckwheat may help heal PCOS symptoms.

Buckwheat may offer some relief to those with PCOS.

Buckwheat contains a compound called D-chiro-inositol, which is an insulin mediator. D-chiro-inositol is found to be deficient in people with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (1).

Researchers are trying to develop natural and synthetic variants of D-chiro-inositol to help manage PCOS. However, supplying this carbohydrate through diet showed positive effects as well. Buckwheat seed bran becomes the ideal choice in such cases (1).

The fragments of the outer leaves adhere to the bran during milling. Therefore, the bran fraction from buckwheat seed can be used to isolate the free D-chiro-inositol. It can be used for the large-scale production of nutraceuticalsi  Medical or nutritional products that can be used as a medication apart from offering nutritional benefits. and pharmaceuticals to cater to the people with such a deficit (1).

protip_icon Did You Know?
Buckwheat was originally called “beech wheat” because buckwheat seeds resembled beech nuts.

In the following section, we have added a couple of quick recipes that can help you include buckwheat in your diet.

Buckwheat oats taste very similar to the classic flour-based crepes you make.

People with celiac disease and gluten intolerance don’t need to miss out on some delicious crepes, thanks to buckwheat! You can also eat buckwheat raw; ensure you soak them well and rinse and strain before doing so. This will help in their digestion.

protip_icon Quick Tip
Buckwheat in the flour or groat form is highly perishable. They stay fresh for one and two months, respectively, at room temperature. You may refrigerate them to double their shelf life.

However, you need to keep a watch on the amount of buckwheat you can eat in a day.

How Much Buckwheat Is Safe To Eat?

According to the FDA, in a 2,000 calorie-diet, the daily intake of fiber should be about 28 g (10). Half a cup of buckwheat (85 grams) contains about 8 grams of fiber (11). You may have the same on a regular basis. Since you also get fiber from other sources, this should not be a problem.

Your goal should be to get 100% of the daily value for dietary fiber on most days.

If you are showing symptoms of buckwheat allergy, or you don’t like how these seeds taste, you can choose other gluten-free grains to meet the fiber requirement.

Brown/black/red rice, oatmeal, quinoa, rolled oats, rye, and barley are some options that you can consider.

Not all may be able to consume buckwheat. It may cause adverse effects on certain people.

Side Effects Of Eating Buckwheat

Buckwheat may lead to allergic reactions and rashes.
Image: Shutterstock

Though it is gluten- and phytic acid-free, buckwheat seeds may have other anti-nutrients that trigger hypersensitivityi  An exaggerated response by the immune system to particular substances or conditions, usually observed in allergies. .

One of the most reported and studied side effects is buckwheat allergy. Its symptoms include (12):

  • Asthma
  • Allergic rhinitis (sneezing, wheezing, runny nose)
  • Gastrointestinal disturbancei  Disorders related to the GI tract (which extends from the mouth to the anus) such as nausea/vomiting, food poisoning, and diarrhea. (nausea, cramps, etc.)
  • Hives or skin rashes
  • Swelling (face and skin)

If left untreated, it can turn fatal.

This happens because buckwheat contains several allergens. These digestion-resistanti  The property characterized by the resistance of certain proteins to break down into amino acids in the intestine. proteins elicit an allergic reaction in your body. These allergens can cross-react with other plant allergens that are most commonly found in rice, poppy seeds, latex, cashew, and sesame (1), (12).

Hence, beware of what you eat buckwheat with. Eating these foods together might trigger the adverse effects listed above.

Research is still underway in this aspect. The exact allergen(s) structure and function of buckwheat have not been established yet.

Additionally, buckwheat proteins have low digestibility. This could be because the polyphenols in buckwheat interact with these proteins and make it harder for your colon to digest them (13).

Having probiotics may solve this problem.
