3. Promotes Digestive Health: The fiber in buckwheat can help regulate bowel movements and improve digestion. It can also support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

4. Supports Heart Health: Buckwheat is a good source of rutin, a flavonoid that may help lower blood pressure and improve blood circulation. It also contains fiber, which can help reduce cholesterol levels.

5. May Aid in Blood Sugar Control: Buckwheat has a low glycemic index, meaning it doesn't cause a spike in blood sugar levels after consumption. This can be beneficial for individuals with diabetes or prediabetes.

6. Versatile Ingredient: Buckwheat can be used in various recipes, including pancakes, waffles, porridge, and pilaf. It can also be used as a flour substitute in baking.
