Japan has a long tradition of amazing pastas, one of the most notable being soba. This noodle, available at our Japanese restaurant in Bellevue, has a long-standing reputation for its valuable health properties, many of which have been scientifically demonstrated in modern laboratory settings.
The value of soba comes from the fact that it is made out of buckwheat. This grain has many powerful health benefits, some of which are entirely unique to it. Aside from being high in protein and fiber, it is the only grain that contains rutin. This is an essential bioflavonoid that works to strengthen capillaries and help people with heart disease or circulatory problems.
Buckwheat is also a good source of lipids, iron, phosphorus, copper, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2. So do your body a favor and come try a bowl today!
