What is buckwheat tea and why drink him?
"Everyone knows that green tea is rich in antioxidants and soothes well, and black - contains polyphenols and it is not worse than coffee. But about the benefits of buckwheat tea, which, unlike the first two, can be brewed in the evening and drink in unlimited quantities, heard few. We tell what it looks like and what is its benefit.
What is buckwheat tea?
Bucky tea is a drink from fermented and fried hammer unwinding wild buckwheat, which is also called Tatar buckwheat. Southern Russia is considered to be the birthplace of herbaceous plant, but now it is grown mainly in the territory of the south-western and northern provinces of China. The tea from the buckwheat seeds appeared there and was called Qiao.
Nasyovka It turns out: why buckwheat Tatar, but grows in China? The fact is that in Russia it was exterminated as a w**d plant, and now comes to us mainly from Asia countries. There, it was ""domesticated"" and turned out of a wild grade into a cultural plant, growing it with whole plantations. Respondent Chinese immediately let the plant in turn and began to use in medicine.
What is the benefit and what vitamins does it contain?
Unlike the usual buckwheat, the wilderness concentration of the routine, a biologically active substance, 100 times more, notes Ulyana Rumyantsev, Candidate of Medical Sciences, an endocrinologist and a dietologist of the SM Clinic Medical Center. A lot in drink and vitamin A, E, almost all vitamins of group B, as well as flavonoids, antioxidants, protein and fiber. Each of these valuables has its useful properties, namely: antioxidants prevent the formation of free radicals in the body, which damage our cells and organs - in this case they become vulnerable to viruses and bacteria. Studies show that these biologically active substances still improve the work of the digestive system;
Rutin is vitamin P, which strengthens the capillaries, regulates blood glucose levels and increases immunity. And he also suppresses the formation of the neurotransmitter of histamine, which is important for allergies. Vitamin P sources are not so much - basically it is citrus and berries, but they can be used by them.
Lizin is an indispensable amino acid, which is not produced by our organism. It is a construction material for a protein - it is necessary for muscle growth, hormone production and normal operation of immunity;
Catechins, natural antioxidants, help in the fight against excess weight - under the influence of these substances the body spends more energy and consumes fat reserves. Plus, there are fiber in tea - it gives food volume and retains a feeling of satiety for a long time. So take a note: Bucky tea is the perfect replacement for high-calorie drinks.
How to brew it correctly?
Buckwheat tea is very simple: 1 teaspoon with a hammer of Tatar buckwheat poured 100 ml of boiling water and insisted under the lid for 2 minutes. If you insist longer, the aroma and taste is obtained more saturated. At the same time, boiling water can be added 3-4 times in the same welding. The drink is yellow, the saturation of which depends on the duration of the brewing and the concentration of buckwheat on the volume of water.
What are the contraindications?
According to the endocrinologist's doctor and the dietologist Ulyana Rumyantseva, the buckwheat tea does not have contraindications - it can be drunk even in large quantities: ""Unlike conventional black and green tea, the buckwheat does not contain TEIN alkaloids, teofiline and theobromin, which stimulate the nervous system.
Since there is no caffeine in the drink, it does not activate the work of the cardiovascular system and does not increase blood pressure. Compared to other beverages that accelerate the pulse, increase the acidity of the gastric juice and increase the risk of exacerbation of the ulcer of the stomach, duodenum, gastritis with increased acidity, the buckwheat tea does not threaten these consequences. ""
How to choose a buckwheat tea?
To distinguish the real buckwheat tea from the fake from ordinary buckwheat will not be difficult. The drink is distinguished by a pronounced aroma of nut baking from buckwheat flour - among the ordinary cultural variety of buckwheat, the usual smell of buckwheat. When choosing a buckwheat tea, pay attention to the grain size - the smaller the grains, the younger buckwheat and the more useful substances in it, the nutritionist notes. The color of the grains also matters - too light grains indicate an insufficient roasting. There is nothing bad in this, but when brewing the drink is less saturated in color, aroma and taste.
