Hi all,

I've recently started eating buckwheat as my preferred carbs for some of my main meals and have had fanastic post meal bg numbers

Has anyone else experienced this?

3 cheers for buckwheat!
 
Quinoa, and bulgar wheat aren't bad for my bs, and I'll be giving buck wheat a try now :thumbup:
 
Funnily enough, I put some buckwheat in my trolley for the first time last night whilst shopping at Sainsbury's.

I also saw some 'Polenta' which I bought solely on the strength of the label: per 100g: Protein 1.9; carbohydrate: 16.4, of which sugar 0.1; fat 0.9, of which saturates 0.1; Salt, trace.

I haven't a clue what I'm going to use it for but it might be fun finding out?
 
It's such a versatile seed

Try cooking in chicken stock with garlic and chilli. It seems to take on any flavour depending on what ingredients you cook with it :)

Quinoa and bulgar wheat are on my shopping list this week see how I fare
 
How about Galettes de Sarrisin (ie buckwheat pancakes)
This recipe has got a bit of wheat flour in it but not much.

Makes a lovely meal with a green salad alongside.
One of my favourite fillings is : spinach/crème fraiche (that's easier here because it comes in little fozen cubes) , a bit of parmesan with a little crumbled crispy bacon, served with a tomato sauce (ie chopped tinned toms with garlic and herbs).
I have to admit, I don't make my own. I used to make them but have found ready made ones containing the same things I'd put in them.
