Gluten Free Vegan Energizing Breakfast

How do you like that?? 

That’s how the first buckwheat experience of my love looked like (the way he preferred it*). Thus, the first buckwheat feast included buckwheat kasha** (of course) with tiny cubes of guava and raisins added to it, roasted sunflower seeds (they are an integral part of any dish in fact), banana slices and honey. Mmmmmm…Not bad, heh?

Swap honey for guava syrup and get an absolutely vegan meal.

Some buckwheat info.

This redolent gift of the Mother Earth, although having “wheat” in its name, is not a grain technically, being seeds of a flowering plant. Therefore, buckwheat does not contain gluten, but!! accommodates a great amount of iron, antioxidants, such minerals and vitamins as niacin, copper, zinc, manganese, potassium and rutin that helps improve blood circulation and does not allow cholesterol to block blood vessels.

* Ishmael is always quite creative at giving a dish his personal zest, enriching it with ingredients..

** In this case kasha is buckwheat cooked (boiled) on water (just add twice as much water)
