What You Must Know About Organic Activated Buckwheat
Buckwheat is high in magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and flavonoids and contains all eight essential amino acids, including lysine. Buckwheat is also a good source of dietary fibre.
Contrary to popular belief, buckwheat is not a cereal grain but is actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel making it a suitable substitute for people who are sensitive to wheat or other gluten containing grains. Buckwheat flowers are very fragrant and are attractive to bees that use them to produce a special, strongly flavored, dark honey.
The Activation Process
So, what sets the ActivEarth Food’s organic activated buckwheat apart from its conventional counterpart? The secret lies in the activation process. Buckwheat seeds contain enzyme inhibitors, phytic acid, and tannins that can interfere with nutrient absorption and digestion. Activation is the method of soaking and sprouting these seeds to neutralise these inhibitors, making the nutrients easier for your body to absorb.
During the activation process, the buckwheat seeds are soaked in water for a specified period. After soaking, the seeds are rinsed and drained thoroughly. Over the next 24 hours, they are placed in ourt dehydrators to bring them back to a beautiful crispy state without losing any of the nutritional benefits. This further enhances their nutritional profile.
