Eden Foods Organic Buckwheat Soba, 8 oz (227 g)

I’ve tried Eden Foods’ Organic Buckwheat Soba, and if you’re into clean, simple eating—this is a solid choice. The noodles cook pretty quickly (about 5–7 minutes), and the texture is slightly chewy, which I really liked. Taste-wise, it has that earthy buckwheat flavor—nutty and a little strong—so if you're not used to that kind of taste, it might take a couple tries to get used to. It’s not your typical pasta flavor, but it's great in brothy soups or cold soba salads with soy sauce, sesame, and green onions. One thing to note: if you overcook it even a bit, it can get mushy fast. So you have to watch it carefully while boiling. I like that it’s organic, has no weird ingredients, and feels light on the stomach. It’s also gluten-free if you’re avoiding wheat (though check the label to be sure—it depends on the specific mix).
