Medicinal and Nutritional Benefits – Buckwheat greens are very tender and can be used in smoothies or as a micro-green lettuce. Buckwheat, best taken as tea or tablet, is used for a wide range of circulatory problems. Its most important quality, in terms of pain relief, is that the material conforms to the exact contours of the head and neck, providing a compliant passive support. The plant contains rutin, a medicinal chemical that serves to strengthen the capillary walls and reduce hemorrhaging instances in people suffering from high blood pressure.

Culinary Uses- There are many uses for buckwheat sprouts, and cooking with buckwheat is a broad art. Some of the more popular buckwheat sprout dishes include granolas and breakfast cereals, particularly when topped with fresh fruit. Buckwheat sprouts are also a staple ingredient of sprouted wheat bread, many multi-grain breads, and as a unique salad topping.

Fun Fact – Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat—it’s a closer cousin to rhubarb. Buckwheat flour is a safe alternative for those on gluten free diets.
