Somehow I never thought about soaking buckwheat instead of my usual oats. Thanks to The Raw Food Sisters, I have a new favorite breakfast recipe to share with you! Even though it is usually thought of as a grain, buckwheat is actually the seed of a broadleaf plant related to rhubarb. Unlike rice, wheat or corn, it supports a healthy blood sugar level, and has essential amino acids and protein. Health benefits are increased once it’s soaked, so try this out this creamy, nutty, nourishing vegan and gluten-free porridge for your next breakfast.
