Buckwheat Activated & Spray-Free
The Mindful Pantry Staple!
Buckwheat is a popular pseudocereal, a small seed that shares many properties with cereal grains, without actually belonging to the grain (grass) family.
A 2015 systematic review found a link between diets that were higher in whole grain foods and a lower risk of heart disease. Animal studies have found that buckwheat may lower blood pressure, which can also improve heart health.
People who follow gluten-free diets may consume lower intakes of whole grains, which means they miss out on the health benefits they provide. Including buckwheat into the diet as an alternative to whole grains that contain gluten can deliver these benefits.
Buckwheat is a good source of fiber. According to the AHA, dietary fiber helps improve blood cholesterol levels, which, in turn, reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and obesity.
How To Use
Toast them, until they darken and become fragrant (just as you would toast nuts), then sprinkle it on salads, pasta or vegies for the texture. Cook them as you would cook grain e.g., oats or in soups about 15 minutes or until they reach the desired texture (the longer they cook the softer they become). Enjoy these flavoursome nutty buckwheat babies!
Activated
We’ve long soaked these organic lil’ baby buckwheat seeds in our home-made kombucha, filtered water & Australian rock salt, then we’ve dehydrated them for 12 hours below 60°Celsius. We activate in small batches, so they keep super fresh and crunchy! Activated foods are easier to digest, are more nutrient-rich (bio-available), and delectably crunchy.
Storage
Best kept airtight in a cool and dry place.
Kept fresh in attractive, pantry-worthy glass jars and earth-friendly compostable bags, Mindful Foods have gone to the Nth degree to ensure the utmost quality, nutrition, and environmental consideration.
