Soba noodles are noodles made from buckwheat flour, and surprisingly have no actual wheat in them. This makes soba noodles safe for a gluten-free diet or those who are gluten sensitive. Soba noodles are also considered healthy pasta as they are less in calories than traditional white pasta. Because buckwheat contains antioxidants, a large amount of fiber, vitamins, minerals and more, soba noodles are a usual choice for those on a macrobiotic diet or those who are trying to watch their weight. Commonly used in Japanese fare, soba noodles can be served hot or cold, depending upon the dish. Examples include cold soba noodles, mixed with a homemade soba sauce, sautéed soba noodles mixed with a protein like fish or beef, and even soba noodles in ramen instead of udon noodles.
