Abstract

Vitamin storage for gluten-free diets: Buckwheat!

Buckwheat has become a highly preferred food in recent years. Stating that it should not be considered a type of cereal due to the wheat mentioned in its name, Nutrition and Dietetics Specialist Lect. Zeynep Şeyda BİLİM, recommended that buckwheat, which is very rich in vitamins and minerals, must be consumed especially by those with gluten sensitivity and celiac patients. Buckwheat, known as pseudo-cereal, is in great demand by those who care about healthy life and those who are sensitive to gluten due to its lack of gluten and high nutritional values. People with celiac disease caused by gluten proteins in wheat, rye and barley should follow a gluten-free diet, Istanbul Gelisim University, Vocational School of Health Services Lecturer Nutrition and Dietetics Specialist Zeynep Şeyda BİLİM emphasized that buckwheat is an important source of vegetable protein and it contains many vitamins and minerals as well as a good source of fiber.
