Why Kuttu is Consumed in Navratra, Its Benefits

Buckwheat (kuttu) has been used in Ayurveda for centuries. It’s a high-protein grain that is gluten-free and contains no wheat or corn. Buckwheat is an excellent source of iron, calcium, potassium, and fiber. In addition to these nutritional benefits, buckwheat can be used to treat various health conditions like diabetes and hypertension. It’s also beneficial for weight loss because it helps suppress appetite by supplying energy when needed (i.e., during exercise).

Kuttu is rich in fibre.

Buckwheat is rich in fibers. Fiber helps in digestion as it increases the speed of digestion and makes you feel full longer. It keeps your tummy nice and flat by keeping you feeling fuller for longer, which means you’ll eat less throughout the day (or at least not be hungry as often).

Fibre also has so many other health benefits!

Kuttu is a rich source of potassium, which lowers blood pressure.

Kuttu is rich in potassium, which is an important mineral and electrolyte. It helps to regulate blood pressure, maintain normal muscle and nerve function, and maintain normal blood glucose levels.

Many people with high blood pressure are deficient in potassium. The recommended daily amount of potassium for adults is 4,700 mg per day; however, it’s possible to consume too much potassium (5 g) if you take supplements without consulting your doctor first — especially if you have kidney disease or diabetes.

Gluten-free flour helps prevent inflammation and various forms of arthritis.

Buckwheat is gluten-free, which makes it a great alternative for those who have celiac disease or other forms of wheat sensitivities. In addition, the flour is rich in fiber and protein, which help prevent inflammation and various forms of arthritis.

The benefits of buckwheat are not limited to its ability to support the digestive system. However, this flour also has antioxidant properties that can help fight free radicals in the body.

This makes it ideal for people with diabetes who need to maintain their blood sugar levels.
