Tinhlavu te buckwheat, kepha ikakhulu lamacembe, atfwele irutin intfo lenika libala kulesitjalo, yatiwa kutsi icinisa emabondza. Litiya leliluhlata le buckwheat linetigaba letiphakeme te rutin futsi kukhona lokutfolwako kutsi kukale sifo se cardiovascula, lokunciphisa ingoti yekucinisa lama arteries kantsi phindze kwentela kusebenta kwe makhekhali lahlangene.
Letinhlavu tidliwa tiphelele noma tingakapheleli, tiyaphekwa tentiwe lipalishi, tiyashaywa tibe ngu flour noma tisetjentiswe njenge groat.
