I used to eat buckweat, but not on the approved list for lectin avoidance (read the plant paradox by dr Gundry)
I go back to millet (common in Switzerland) and need to find sorghum now.

Not all “carbs” are the same, nor can we equate all carbohydrate rich foods. Buckwheat is a complete food made up of many components. I suggest researching buckwheat and fermentation of grains. You’ll see what I mean.

Hi Zuzka,
Can you explain to me in simple terms why buckwheat is ok on a LCHF diet? Even though it is super high in carbs. Thx!

It doesn’t spike your blood sugar levels – it’s a slow carb or sometimes also called smart carb.
