Buckwheat Has Been Around for Ages, But It Isn’t the Most Commonly Found Carb Source
Matthew Kadey, MS, RD
It goes without saying that we need carbs in our diets to fuel our miles. It’s hard to cover long distances and zip up those inclines on protein and fat alone. But why settle—and bore your taste buds in the process—with just rice and spaghetti when there are plenty of other grains out there that can deliciously and nutritiously top off your carb stores for your next big pursuit?
Take, for example, buckwheat. The whole grain has been around for ages, but except for the occasional stack of buckwheat pancakes or crepes, it isn’t the most commonly found carb source. Yet, maybe it’s time for a change.
