This morning I surfed a link to the movie FOOD INC while eating my homemade rawnola and having tea. It will never show up in my town but a friend has it backordered online. Then after a few other distractions, petition signing and updates on the metro crash I looked back at my cereal bowl and said to my self ” I want to blog about organic buckwheat groats”.
BUCKWHEAT GROATS – (taken from a book by Gary Null) When roasted these gems are known as kasha. Buckwheat has more then 90 percent of the protein value of milk sol
ids, and more then 80 percent of eggs. A pound of buckwheat provides protein equivalent to a half-pound of beef. It contains high amounts of all eight essential amino acids and is closer to be a complete protein than any other plant source, including soy beans. You can purchase them at a whole foods. I get mine from the bins at Native Sun in Jacksonville, FL.

Of course it is cruelty free of eggs and dairy products which are better for our health, the environmnet and the baby cows and chickens. ( side bar- did you know that all animals that are confined in factory farms are pumped up to a ripe age of a baby and then slaughtered?. Yes! All the animals that people consume are still babies. That is a fact.)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus more for serving
