As you can see from the data I got from the website there is hardly any fat. Personally I think it is healthier than plain noodles because it has more fibre, lesser fat and more protein than white noodles, it is also very expensive as well.

Any carbohydrate foods are considered as high in starch, The amount of starch in dry buckwheat grain varies from 55 to 70 %.
