Buckwheat groats are rich in the flavonoids rutin and quercetin, which are both linked to reduced inflammation. Buckwheat groats are also a great source of fiber to support a healthy microbiome.

In addition, buckwheat is rich in minerals, such as magnesium, zinc, and iron.

You can eat buckwheat groats as a morning porridge (like oatmeal- add cinnamon, nuts, seeds, and berries), as a side dish at dinner, or turn them into tortillas- my favorite!
