Soba Noodles are made from Buckwheat, which is a gluten-free grain that is packed full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and easily digestible protein. They're a great alternative to white pastas and are super tasty both hot and cold. Buckwheat is also a Prebiotic, a source of fuel for our Probiotics (healthy gut bacteria) and they have an awesome flavour profile - perfect base for any salad!
