I make this delicious gluten free granola often as it doesn’t last long in my household. It is
delicious served with plant milk and topped with coconut yoghurt and fresh fruit. It is also a
wonderful dessert sprinkled over nice cream or yoghurt.
Buckwheat is very rich in fibre, a great source of plant protein and very high in antioxidants
and a nutrient called rutin which is a type of phytonutrient which helps stabilize blood
pressure and helps reduce cholesterol. The carbohydrate content in Buckwheat is absorbed
slowly into the blood stream, providing your body with a steady stream of energy.
