Activated Buckwheat & Coconut Porridge

    buckwheat

    Why Is This Good For Me?

    Raw/ Vegan/ Gluten free/ Dairy free/ Processed sugar free

    This is a lovely refreshing summer porridge that does not need heating as it’s 100% raw! Buckwheat is not a grain nor does it contain wheat despite the name buck”wheat” it is actually a fruit seed! Unlike starchy grains that spike blood sugar levels, buckwheat ranks very low on the glycimic scale, it reduces and stabilises blood sugar levels- great for diabetics. Buckwheat is also a great source of magnesium and contains more protein then grains.

    Why is the buckwheat activated? 

    I’m all about eating foods that are great for digestive health as I believe it is the key to optimal health! That is why I soak nuts and seeds over night as this easy method makes them much easier to digest.
