Soba (Japanese for buckwheat) noodles have fewer calories more fiber and more protein than traditional pasta which is made out of refined flour which tends to be higher in calories, sugars, and carbohydrates. Furthermore, soba is a rich source of fiber, iron, thiamine, and manganese.

Manganese is needed to make several enzymes to provide energy and antioxidants. Manganese also plays a role in the formation of collagen, a protein required for wound healing, and healthy bones.

AND it's not only healthier it tastes so much better than regular pasta.
