- Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber: 19.9 g − 2.7 g = 17.2 g per 100 g. Low-carb plans usually count these.
- Protein per 100 kcal compares how much protein each food gives for the same calories: Buckwheat gives 3.7 g.
- Energy density is calories per gram. At 0.92 kcal/g, Buckwheat is low on the CDC's scale (very low below 0.6, low to 1.5, medium to 4, high above 4); lower-density foods give a larger portion for the same calories.
