Buckwheat groats are rich in the flavonoids rutin and quercetin, which are both linked to reduced inflammation. Buckwheat groats are also a great source of fiber to support a healthy microbiome.

In addition, buckwheat is rich in minerals, such as magnesium, zinc, and iron.

You can eat buckwheat groats as a morning porridge (like oatmeal- add cinnamon, nuts, seeds, and berries), as a side dish at dinner, or turn them into tortillas- my favorite!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup buckwheat flour (simply process buckwheat groats in a blender to make flour)

• 1 TBSP ground flaxseed
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Dash of salt

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and process.
