Buckwheat, groats

Buckwheat groats are the hulled seeds of the buckwheat plant, used in a similar way to cereal grains. The supplied data describe groats but do not specify whether they are raw or cooked. Per 100g, they provide 85g of carbohydrate, 8.1g of protein and 1.5g of fat, with an energy content of 1522 kJ.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Groats absorb water during cooking, so their nutrient content by weight will depend on how they are prepared. Added ingredients can also change the energy, fat and salt content of a dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
