SAVORY SOBA NOODLES

Buckwheat is an ancient gluten free “grain” that is actually a fruit seed. A nutritional powerhouse best eaten during late summer, it strengthens the digestive tract by boosting Stomach and Spleen function and ridding the body of excess mucus. Enjoy this Asian comfort food topped with peas and okra, which both strengthen and the digestive tract and Liver function.
