Dear Lovers,

Did you know eating noodles keeps your body flexible? 

Today we are going  to make a healthy delicious dishThe soba  noodle dish we are going to make soothes the soul.

Soba means buckwheat in Japan. The soba noodles look like spaghetti but have a nuttier flavor.  A two ounce serving of dry soba noodles contain 6 o 8 grams of protein.  Soba is full of minerals and a good source of B vitamins.  In addition,  The World's Healthiest Foods claims that a diet rich in buckwheat may reduce risk of high blood pressure, and also lowers blood cholesterol levels.
