buckwheat pasta

Yesterday, my sister and I made pasta for lunch. Well, actually it was my sister who cooked, while I was busy taking pictures here and there. First to the fourth photos above are the ingredients my sister used and the fifth is veggie drink my sister and I been craved on. Anyway, I asked mother to buy me this buckwheat pasta spirals without knowing what buckwheat is, until recently I stumbled upon Tricia’s blog from eating is art. It was a total coincidence actually, and I thanked myself for being a food masochist, that I finally discovered such a great site like that. I was keenly reading up on her posts, when I came across one of her writing about buckwheat. She explained that buckwheat is actually not a grain, but a fruit seed akin to rhubarb. I didn’t really get it at first, but as I read it over, I knew that buckwheat contains good nutrients for human cardiovascular system, and may also contribute to blood sugar control. Sounds cool, oh yeah, absolutely it is. Eating healthy is so today, babes.
