Many people choose the same breakfast every day, but nutrition experts are pointing to a lesser-known alternative.

Breakfast plays an important role in maintaining energy levels throughout the day. As a result, there is growing interest in foods that both promote satiety and provide the body with the nutrients it needs.

According to the Lithuanian media outlet Lrytas.lt, experts particularly emphasize foods in which vitamins and minerals are more readily absorbed by the body.

Benefits for the body

Dietary fiber is well known for supporting digestion and helping people feel full for longer. At the same time, a low glycemic index may help keep blood sugar levels more stable.

Lrytas.lt also notes that nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and B vitamins are important for concentration, immune function, and the nervous system, among other functions.

The experts’ choice

According to Lrytas.lt, experts recommend eating sprouted green buckwheat.

Unlike the more common roasted buckwheat, they have not been heat-treated. As a result, they are able to sprout, which, according to Lrytas.lt, makes their nutrients easier for the body to absorb.

During the sprouting process, substances that can otherwise inhibit mineral absorption are broken down.

They should not be cooked at high temperatures, as some of their beneficial enzymes, vitamins, and antioxidants may be lost.
