Chinese traditional food: Buckwheat

Buckwheat is loaded with health benefits. Similar to whole grains, it is a great source of heart-healthy fiber , which helps keep you full longer. It also provides hunger-satisfying protein without any of the cholesterol or saturated fat that animal protein contains. Plus, it offers eight essential amino acids , making this complete protein a smart nutritional choice for vegetarians.
荞麦对我们的身体健康有很多益处。同全谷物食品一样,荞麦能提供很多对心脏健康有益的纤维,这些纤维能使你较长时间保持饱的状态而不感觉到饥饿。荞麦还能提供抗饥饿的蛋白质,却不含有任何在动物蛋白质中普遍存在的胆固醇和饱和脂肪。同时,荞麦提供了8种人体必须的氨基酸,使这种十足的氨基酸成为素食主义者的一种聪明的保证营养的选择。
Whole buckwheat flour can be made into a spaghetti -like noodle called a soba noodle, which can be served hot or cold. Although similar in shape to spaghetti, it won’t make you feel as heavy or stuffed after you eat it. It has a hearty , earthy taste, making it a good choice if you are looking for some noodle diversity in your next meal.
纯荞麦面粉可以用来制成一种类似于意大利面条的荞麦面条,既可以热食,也可以冷食。尽管荞麦面条在外形上跟意大利面条很像,但当你食用它后,不会让你感觉难消化或者胀肚。它味道优美又朴实无华,如果你正在为下一顿寻找一些种类多样化的面条,它(绝对)是一个不错的选择。
