Farinetta Buckwheat farinetta is like the bran of the buckwheat - made from the most nutritious part of the plant (buckwheat is a flower, not a grain, it is not related to wheat).
Buckwheat farinetta is one of the foods highest in the nutrient d-chiro-inositol (DCI), a kind of B-vitamin, that has shown great promise in treating PCO. It is important to the proper functioning of insulin, some people have thought maybe people with PCO are deficient in it, or don't process it properly.
Soy lecithin is also extremely high in DCI; I've added that to the recipe now... it's really getting better and better I think even people not used to "healthy" food might find these to be tasty!
