What is healthier: rice or buckwheat - we put an end to this question
Rice and buckwheat are the two most popular side dishes after potatoes.
Many Russians wonder which cereals are healthier.
Let's look at the properties and benefits of each side dish.
Which is more useful?
If we take into account the calorie content of products, buckwheat is slightly more caloric than rice: 343 versus 334 kcal, respectively.
At the same time, buckwheat has a richer protein content, which is almost twice as much in this cereal than in rice. There are 13 grams of protein per 100 grams of the product, while rice has only 6.7 grams.
Buckwheat wins in terms of the amount of fiber, as well as vitamins and useful elements.
At the same time, if we compare white rice with brown rice, the former is rich in starch and carbohydrates, and therefore is not beneficial. However, if we talk about brown rice, it is considered a real vitamin storehouse.
Therefore, if you have to choose, it is better to give preference to buckwheat, which does not contain gluten and starch. And if you want rice, eat brown rice.
