Description

Buckwheat noodles are a type of pasta made primarily from buckwheat flour, a pseudocereal known for its firm texture and slightly earthy flavor. Unlike traditional wheat noodles, these are gluten-free, making them an excellent choice for people with sensitivity or intolerance to this protein.

The origin of buckwheat noodles dates back to Asian cuisine, especially in Japan, where they are known as soba, although similar variants exist in Russian cuisine and other regions of Eastern Europe. They have gained global popularity due to their nutritional value and versatility in different dishes.

Their notable properties include a high content of high-quality proteins, dietary fiber, and minerals such as magnesium, iron, and zinc. Furthermore, being a source of antioxidants, they contribute to improved cardiovascular health and the immune system.

In Hispanic America, these noodles may also be known as buckwheat noodles or black wheat pasta, depending on the country and region. They are ideal for recipes that require a firm texture and a distinctive flavor, from soups to stir-fries and salads.
