Super foods sound like another scam, page-47

Also love buckwheat. I don't eat this as part of a salad, although I have done so. Easy to cook up for breakfast. Already sweet and thus needs no sugar. Cook in water for approx. 15 mins. in water on stovetop. Good for summer breakfasts where porridge I don't eat during summer, just soaked oats - eaten daily.

Very nutritious:

"Nutrition credentials of buckwheat:

• High in protein (13-15%), second highest only to oats, and rich in the amino acid lysine.
• Rich in carbohydrates (mainly starch).
• Rich in polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid.
• Contains vitamins B1, C and E.
• Contains higher levels of zinc, copper, and manganese than other cereal grains, and the bioavailability of these minerals is also quite high.
• High in soluble fibre.
• Provides a potential source of resistant starch, as certain treatments of buckwheat starch or foods containing buckwheat increase the amount of retrograded, non-digestible starch.
• A rich source of polyphenol compounds.
• Contains rutin, a bioflavonoid thought to help control blood pressure and possess anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties.
• Gluten free."
