Hello Friends!
Buckwheat Crackers with Edamame & Avocado Spread
Have you heard of buckwheat?
If not, let me familiarize you with this great grain. Not only is it a hearty whole grain that transforms into tasty little puffs when cooked, but when milled into a flour it becomes a wonderful gluten free substitute for all sorts of baking….
I recently started experimenting with buckwheat, and to my surprise, have been love, love, lovin it
Why, you ask?
– It’s quite sticky, “glutinous” and “starchy” so does well in recipes that need a lil’ binding love like crackers and crepes.
– The flavor is deep and earthy, but mild enough to still be paired nicely with sweets like buckwheat crepes & Nutella!
– It’s naturally gluten free, high in protein (contains lysin, an amino acid not found in many other plant based sources), high in fiber, B vitamins, copper and magnesium.
Say HELLO to my new favorite grain!
