Benefits of eating Buckwheat groats

[GeorgeGlass]

I've started eating buckwheat groats several days a week based on health benefits. I didn't expect to enjoy the taste and texture as much as I have. They can be eaten with oatmeal or as a breakfast replacement, or they can be used in lieu of rice for lunch and dinner meals. Here's some info about buckwheat that you might find interesting. One of the benefits is that they are heart healthy:

A healthy food. I prefer oat groats (they made processed oatmeal seem like pablum to me).

I agree, I eat those and organic steel cut gluten free oats as well - slow cook type.

Easy to grow but hard to get the hull off. Good rice replacement.

Thanks for the tip. I always used to eat that and know that as as buckwheat groats or kasha Would you can consider that a safe food to eat while I am doing IMRT?

[GeorgeGlass in reply to Mischa1111111]

Yes, I would consider it safe with IMRT. Ask that question to the entire group. Maybe they have other foods that you should take with radiation.

I keep telling myself to eat groats but never get around to it. I used to eat them regularly with a nutritional yeast gravy, yum.

I started eating buckwheat, among other groats, in 2019 after switching to a plant based diet; it's been a staple ever since. Welcome to the club. We need a secret handshake.

If i get s secret handshake for all the food and supplements i take, then it would be like that jive scene in the movie Airplane, or an nfl endzone celebration lol. Glad you discovered the buckwheat.
