Soba is the perfect vegan food
My family and I went to a soba noodle restaurant in our neighborhood.
It’s called Yaoki Soba restaurant in Jindaiji with a small Japanese garden.
I like to eat soba for lunch.
What is Soba
Unlike udon or rice, soba is ground without refining, which makes it extremely nutritious.
In rice and wheat, the germ part is removed and only the endosperm is used.
In the case of buckwheat, the nutrient-rich germ is located in the center of the fruit and cannot be removed.
Also, the sweet skin under the skin is rich in nutrients.
This is why unrefined buckwheat is rich in nutrients.
The starch contained in buckwheat can be easily digested and absorbed by heating it for a short time.
And it can also be used as a source of energy.
In addition to protein and starch, buckwheat is rich in vitamins.
Nutrients
In particular, it contains four times as much vitamin B2 as polished rice.
It has more than 30% more protein than polished rice.
The term “protein” refers to meat and fish, which are animal proteins.
And soybean products such as tofu, which are vegetable proteins.
Vegetable protein
Buckwheat also contains vegetable protein.
The amount of protein in buckwheat is almost equal to that of milk.
It is also water soluble and easily digestible.
Soba made from 100% buckwheat flour is easy to digest and can be eaten without putting a burden on the stomach.
The protein in buckwheat is of very high quality and is rich in essential amino acids.
Essential amino acids cannot be produced in the body and must be obtained from food.
Soba is a good source of essential amino acids such as lysine, which is essential for body development, and arginine, which is a source of stamina.
Vitamins
Eating buckwheat provides a lot of vitamins B1 and B2 too.
Vitamin B1 promotes recovery from fatigue and also calms mental irritability.
It also helps to alleviate loss of appetite.
When eaten with green onions, which are added as a condiment to soba, the allyl compounds in the green onions promote the absorption of vitamin B1.
Vitamin B2 also helps to condition and maintain the health of the skin and mucous membranes.
Rutin
Buckwheat also contains the vitamin P, rutin.
Rutin is a nutrient found only in buckwheat cereals.
And it helps elasticize and strengthen capillaries that have become thin due to aging.
It is also expected to lower blood pressure by improving the flow of the blood.
Choline
Choline, a member of the B vitamins, helps the liver and prevents the accumulation of fat in the liver caused by drinking.
For this reason, it is said that drinking sake while eating soba is good for you.
Soba contains 5% dietary fiber, which is 2.5 times as much as white rice.
It relieves constipation and removes cholesterol and other harmful substances from the intestines along with water.
Perfect vegan food
What do you think?
You may have eaten ramen or udon in Japan already.
Also there are ramen and udon restaurants overseas.
But in Japan, Soba noodles are just as popular or even more popular than Ramen and Udon.
Many Japanese people know Soba is healthier than other noodles made from flour.
