Buckwheat can be replaced with certain grains that have high nutritional value and are considered healthy. These include:
Millet
According to Azat.TV millet is allowed for consumption during celiac disease.
“Dishes made from it improve immune system function and increase the body’s resistance to viruses and diseases. Additionally, millet contains high amounts of manganese, copper, and iron – substances necessary for normal circulatory system function,” said nutritionist Marina Bessonova.
Spelt
Spelt is also considered very beneficial. According to the nutritionist, it consists of 30% protein and contains 18 amino acids. It is believed to improve immunity, enhance endocrine and cardiovascular system function, normalize blood pressure, reduce cancer risk, normalize nervous system function, and increase stress resistance.
Pearl Barley
Regarding pearl barley, according to Bessonova, it contains vitamins D, A, and E, which are responsible for nail, hair, and skin beauty, as well as vitamin K, which is necessary for blood clotting normalization. It also has a beneficial effect on the nervous system.
Barley
Barley has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, strengthens blood vessels by increasing their elasticity, and lowers blood cholesterol levels.
It should be noted that it may be contraindicated for some people.
Pregnant women are advised to remove barley from their diet due to its diuretic properties. Millet can interfere with iodine absorption, so it should not be used in cases of thyroid diseases, increased stomach acidity, ulcers and gastritis, kidney diseases, gout, or calcinosis.
