Buckwheat has the bioflavinoid rutin, which helps strengthen circulation. A good food to have in your diet if you suffer from varicose veins.
Buckwheat is a non-wheat grain. It is known as kasha when roasted and a great breakfast food. Buckwheat is also commonly found in pancake recipes:)
Buckwheat contains a good amount of fiber, b-vitamins and is high in potassium and is acceptable during a Candida diet.
How to cook: Rinse. 1 cup of buckwheat to 2 cups of water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 min. Enjoy fried up with onions and garlic as a side dish with vegetables or add to salads. For breakfast I like to have it with almond milk, cinnamon and a teaspoon of maple syrup :)
peace + love,
Jennifer
