They are made with buckwheat.
Answer
Traditional Japanese soba noodles are made of buckwheat, a whole grain. Buckwheat is the seed of a weed-like plant in the rhubarb family. It is not a grass like wheat, but it is used as a grain. Buckwheat is a minimally unprocessed food only being milled into a flour. It is highly nutritious: full of fiber, protein, magnesium, and many other nutrients.
