Soba noodles are made from buckwheat. Despite the misleading name, buckwheat is not wheat it is a fruit seed. This is a great substitute for those that must follow a gluten free diet. Buckwheat has a rich nutty flavour and is easier to digest than a grain. These traditional Japanese noodles are packed with fiber and protein, making it a great addition to salads or vegetarian recipes. Next time you crave pasta add some buckwheat noodles to your favourite salad. Enjoy this tasty soba noodle spinach and carrot salad with a twist of Asian flavour
