Desserts that are also superfoods - doesn’t it sound like a dream? This is exactly what Tasty Gifts of Nature brings to you.

Buckwheat is something I grew up on as a kid and I didn’t really realize it was actually a nutrient-rich superfood my mom was feeding me almost daily. And even more so, the Tartary buckwheat. Now, knowing all the benefits of Tartary buckwheat, I was delighted to discover it’s used not only in a traditional way of cooking, but can also be used in tea and deserts! This way, not only
you’re savouring delicious goodies, but also bring so much nourishment for your body in this sweet and delightful way.
So let’s dive in and see what makes buckwheat desserts a real superfood.

1. Here’s a fun fact. Buckwheat looks like a grain and can be confused for a whole
grain product, which on its own is already good. But buckwheat is surprisingly a
seed! Meaning, it’s actually gluten-free and can be safely consumed by those
who have gluten sensitivity or intolerance. That’s why it’s commonly called
‘pseudo grain’.
2. Fibre. Buckwheat is high in fibre, which can benefit your cardiovascular and
digestive systems. Fibre is known to eliminate excess amounts of unhealthy
cholesterol from the body and regulate blood pressure. Fibre also helps to have
regular bowel movements, thus clearing your digestive tract and prevents
oxidative stress within digestive organs. This also prevents many diseases
associated with congested colon, including cancer.
3. Protein. Buckwheat is an amazing source of plant-based protein. In fact, it has
higher amounts of protein compared to commonly used whole grains like rice,
wheat, millet. Tartary buckwheat specifically has even higher amounts of protein
then regular buckwheat. It also contains essential amino acids lysine and
leucine that aren’t found in many other cereals or whole grains. These amino
acids are called essential, because our body can’t produce it and must consume
it from food. Therefore, buckwheat ensures you’re covered with a wide variety of
essential amino acids to support growth, muscle recovery and synthesis and
many other important functions in the body, including healthy reproductive
process, both in men and women.
4. Antioxidants. Buckwheat is rich in antioxidants. Its’ antioxidant profile is higher
then many other whole grains. Antioxidants help our body to get rid of free
radicals and prevent damage caused by oxidation.
When researchers from the Department of Food and Nutrition at Bucheon
University in Korea tested the effects of buckwheat in animal studies, they
observed higher antioxidant activities in the liver, colon and rectum of animals
consuming it. Protective glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase
antioxidants were all found in the digestive systems of the animals receiving the
seed.
Glutathione is a major antioxidant found in the body that helps to protect the cells
from damage caused by free radicals and heavy metals. It is a major detoxifier in
the body and helps to eliminate toxins from various pollutants. Glutathione is also
known for its cancer prevention properties.
In addition, Tartary buckwheat is abundant in rutin. Rutin is a bio-flavonoid that
has anti-inflammatory properties and is known to support blood circulation. It also
promotes collagen production.
5. Vitamins and minerals. By now, everyone already knows how vitamins and
minerals are crucial for our health and wellbeing. Buckwheat is especially
abundant in:

Manganese - essential for healthy growth, metabolism, development and antioxidant defense system.

Copper. One of the minerals that is often lacking in Western, but is an essential
element for heart health, immune system and nerve cells.

Magnesium. This essential mineral may lower your risk of various chronic
conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Iron. Deficiency in this important mineral leads to anemia, a condition
characterized by reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of your blood.

Phosphorus. This mineral plays an essential role in the growth and maintenance
of body tissues.

B vitamins. B-vitamins is a group of vitamins that are involved in many body
functions, such as fat, carbohydrate and protein metabolism, digestive health,
immune system, reproductive health, cell metabolism, energy production and so
much more. These vitamins are absolutely crucial for overall health.

And yes, if you read this article carefully you already know that these nutrients
are called essential because they can only be consumed with food.

As you can see, Tartary buckwheat is abundant in all these amazing nutrients, supporting your immune system, digestive, cardiovascular and reproductive health, which makes it a real superfood and a very generous gift of nature.
