Soba Japanese buckwheat noodles 390g “Itsuki” Yamaimo Soba

Soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour and a portion of wheat flour.

They are thin noodles with a nutty flavor. Buckwheat fruit comes from the buckwheat plant, they are triangular and look very similar to beechnuts. The nice thing about buckwheat for people is that it even grows in the Netherlands. We hardly come across pure buckwheat products in the shops anymore, that is because we do not grow it as much in the Netherlands as we used to. Buckwheat plants are very sensitive to weather conditions, which can cause many seeds to be lost.

Instructions for use:

First cook until done like spaghetti, then rinse with cold or warm water so that it does not stick anymore. You can serve it in a broth soup or dry with a sweet soy marinade. A bundle of Soba noodles is enough for a portion.

Health aspects:

Buckwheat is said to be good against diabetes, bile stones and good for the blood.
