Dietician and therapist Polina Vasilyeva said that everyone can eat buckwheat, but it is better to avoid instant oatmeal.
— In my opinion In my opinion, the healthiest and most suitable cereal for daily consumption is buckwheat, the doctor noted.
According to her, buckwheat contains a lot of vegetable protein and iron. According to these parameters, it can compete with meat, although protein from plant products is less absorbed by the body. When you need to reduce the intake of animal fats from food, buckwheat is just a godsend.
It also contains a lot of B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, copper and calcium. Buckwheat is gluten-free and rarely causes allergies.
It is better not to eat instant oatmeal. Due to excessive processing, such flakes lose fiber and all the useful substances (vitamins, minerals). Instant buckwheat flakes also contain fewer nutrients than buckwheat groats, so choose whole grains.
Which cereals are traditionally considered especially healthy:
1. Oatmeal. It is rich in soluble and insoluble fibers, which help maintain a healthy digestive system. Contains protein, iron and magnesium.
2. Buckwheat. It is an excellent source of vegetable protein, fiber, iron and magnesium. Contains antioxidants.
3. Quinoa. The seeds contain all the necessary amino acids, making this porridge a complete source of protein. It is also rich in fiber, iron, magnesium and phosphorus.
4. Millet. Millet contains a lot of fiber, protein, iron and magnesium. Is a good source of antioxidants and healthy fatty acids.
5. Barley. Barley is rich in fiber, protein, iron and magnesium. Contains beta-glucan, which may help lower blood cholesterol.
6. Sprouted buckwheat. Sprouting increases the content of enzymes, vitamins and amino acids. Rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals.
