Buckwheat porridge review


Today I had buckwheat porridge.
The kernels look like little stones, but soak up about four times their volume in water, so soften quite a bit after simmering for 15 minutes, leaving chewy kernels, a bit like barley. I mixed up the cooked kernels with protein powder, and topped with defrosted frozen berries (as the mixture was quite dry) and yoghurt. There wasn't a strong buckwheat taste but it was a different sensation to eating oats. Still filling and satisfying though.

Thanks for the review, Charlotte... I might do an experiment or two myself.

I'm going to order those Gourmet Nutrition books. There are 4 of us, so postage reduces by $16-17. Much better!

See you Saturday. :o)
