Foodie Fun Fact: Soba noodles are made from buckwheat; unrelated to wheat making soba a delicious choice for those with gluten sensitivities. (However, wheat is sometimes added to soba, so check the label, be sure the ingredients state 100% buckwheat) In Japan, soba is quite popular, it is custom to eat soba on New Year’s Eve; however I recommend enjoying these noodles year around.
Gut Essen!
