Healthy Alternatives To Traditional Dishes

1. Healthy Alternatives To Traditional Dishes People living in the 21st century are in many ways lucky when it comes to food, also because we are offered many more healthy options than those generations that lived before us. Because of more research and choices, people can choose more carefully what to eat, and what to avoid. For many gluten is a no-no. Gluten is found in many of our foods and household products, and all over the world there is an alarming incidence of gluten intolerance that presents itself as discomfort after having consumed foods that contain gluten. That is why so many people now opt for gluten-free products such as gluten-free bread, for example, with bread being a staple in millions of households in America, in Canada, the UK and elsewhere. Gluten causes many people to experience discomfort, such as stomach aches and cramping, feelings of being bloated and similar examples of discomfort. Therefore more and more now opt for gluten-free foods such as, for example, foods made of buckwheat. What is buckwheat? Notwithstanding the “wheat” in the word, it is not wheat, and therefore it does not contain the protein gluten which is found in wheat, barley and rye, which we use when we make bread, pasta and other foods. Buckwheat, therefore, is the alternative to gluten-containing flour that we use in those dishes we love and eat every day. For the gluten intolerant person it is good to know that they are still able to prepare lovely meals even if they have to avoid wheat. Pasta is a good example. Millions the world over eat pasta. There are some great options, tasty recipes, and it does not always take that long to prepare and have a few smiling faces around the table. For the gluten intolerant the answer is fairly simple: replace wheat-based pasta with noodles made from buckwheat. Generations of Japanese and Chinese and other nations in Asia have been raised on noodles made from buckwheat, and fortunately, in recent times, their knowledge and age-old traditions have begun to spill over into the West, also America, for the benefit of a growing segment of the population that has been exposed to this ingredient, as opposed to previous generations that have always used wheat products. Even if you have always loved traditional spaghetti, nothing has to change really – except the buckwheat instead of the traditional product: the noodles look like spaghetti, and one can add them to any dish you like, complemented by those herbs and ingredients you have always enjoyed. Products such as soba noodles and rice made from buckwheat are served everywhere, right from Japanese and other restaurants in LA and San Francisco to eateries in New York, Miami and London, for that matter.

2. These buckwheat pasta dishes are quick to prepare and can be enjoyed as a quick mid-morning snack, during office lunch or as a main dish at home where you entertain colleagues and friends – or simply cook for the family. Research often comes up with interesting facts. In addition to alleviate stomach problems, it is suggested that a gluten-free diet, that is foods made of buckwheat, may actually have benefits for blood sugar and heart health, and treating certain inflammations. With a much greater emphasis on healthier living than ever before, all of us are offered so many choices and options supported by articles, studies and people’s personal experiences that it makes sense for many to forego the older, more traditional dishes – such as Italian- inspired flour pasta – and replace those with a healthier alternative such as gluten-free products made of buckwheat.
