Soba (Japanese buckwheat), while not technically a grain, when compared with other grains, has a relatively short period of time until its harvest. So it has also long been loved among growers as a choice of rotation crop.
There are generally two kinds of buckwheat: “summer buckwheat” harvested in the summer, and “autumn buckwheat” harvested in autumn. Worldwide it is said that there are over 100 kinds of varieties, and the fact that flavors and tastes vary with each variety is one of the appealing features of buckwheat.
Another characteristic of buckwheat is the fact that the deterioration of its quality from the point at which it is ground into flour is faster than that of other grains. Thus, when grinding it into flour, the best flavors are to be found in freshly ground buckwheat.
Soba is kind to your body and good for your health.
