Nutritional values

Anyone who appreciates the spicy buckwheat flavour will have a good laugh: ...because the seeds contain many important nutrients, including tryptophane. This essential amino acid plays an essential role in brain metabolism and is known for its effect as a "happiness substance".

Good to know if you or your fellow eaters suffer from gluten intolerance: Buckwheat is not a "real" grain and therefore free from gluten protein.
