Ingredient Spotlight!

~ Buckwheat~

Buckwheat is an ingredient which is actually not related to wheat, but in reality, is the seed of a plant that belongs to the rhubarb and sorrel family.  It is gluten-free and as such, is an excellent alternative for those who are gluten intolerant.

Buckwheat is a good source of manganese (the forgotten nutrient) that helps with healthy bones as well as the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and sex hormones.  It also contains minerals such as copper, magnesium and phosphorus.  It is also high in dietary fiber and is considered a protein and antioxidants powerhouse.

Why not give this pancake a try!

To good health!
