Spiced Tahini Buckwheat PorridgeMarch 20, 2017
A change of pace from regular oats, buckwheat is an under-utilised, gluten-free grain that lends a hearty, somewhat nutty flavour and texture. Not only is it gluten-free, it also has been shown to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, as well as stabilise blood sugar (controlling appetite) and providing a delicious dose of both fibre and plant-based protein. Yay for buckwheat!
