What is Soba? |
What is Soba? The new trendy health food.
“Soba” are buckwheat noodles beloved in Japan for centuries.
Buckwheat, in the form of grain or powder, has been used for various dishes
all over the world, but buckwheat noodles are very unique to Japanese food culture.
Soba －A health food high in nutrition and low in calories.
1.Soba contains ‘rutin’
Rutin is an antioxidant that fortifies blood vessels, helps
reduce blood pressure and helps prevent diabetes, cerebral hemorrhag
Taken with vitamin C ( in vegetables/fruits), it works even more effectiv
(Among all kinds of noodles, only Soba includes rutin.)
Vitamin B1 is effective in relieving fatigue
Vitamin B2 supports growth and the development of the organs.
The plant protein in soba contains the essential amino acids necessary for the human body. Amino acid “score” of soba is very high 92 point, compared with rice, 68 points, barely of 44 points. In addition, soba contains ‘lysine’ (one of alpha amino acids) that helps relieve fatigue and enhances concentration. Also the plant protein in soba is reported to be effective in lowering blood cholesterol level.
We highly recommend Soba not only for gourmets
but also for anyone on a diet, suffering from diseases
or who are keen on healthy life (such as macrobiotic diet).
