Good morning, good health…this is an easy and delicious way to start your day!
Buckwheat is a gluten free seed that is a complete protein, having all nine essential amino acids.
It is high in lysine, which is used for tissue growth and repair, and is rich in many minerals, including calcium, iron, selenium, zinc, maganese and magnesium as well as vitamin E and the B vitamins.
Flax seeds are rich in omega 3’s, soluble fiber and lignans, which have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune stimulating properties.
Pairing the nutty, delicious flavour of buckwheat with flax seeds, carrots and blueberries, your tastebuds are sure to be in heaven!
