As a coarse grain, buckwheat is generally produced in alpine areas. It is rich in nutritional value, rich in protein and dietary fiber, and contains a variety of amino acids and trace elements needed by the human body. It also contains oleic acid and linoleic acid in fats. Acid has an auxiliary effect in clearing blood lipids. It contains 3-20 times more vitamin D and B2 than wheat. Buckwheat is recognized by more and more people for its auxiliary effects such as clearing blood lipids, protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and balancing diet.
I personally like buckwheat noodles very much. Generally speaking, when I make buckwheat noodles, I add additional wheat flour. The combination of thick and thin noodles has a richer texture. Of course, this ratio is not necessarily certain. Just as I said when I shared the recipe of buckwheat steamed buns last time, you can adjust it according to your personal taste. (The picture below shows sweet buckwheat flour)
If you like whole buckwheat noodles, it’s fine, but the taste is different, the water absorption capacity is different, and the amount of water used is also different. In terms of ingredients, it is recommended to choose sweet buckwheat noodles. After all, not everyone can accept tartary buckwheat noodles. It is recommended to consult the merchant before buying. Of course, the nutritional value of black tartary buckwheat will be higher. (The picture below shows black tartary buckwheat flour)
