Buckwheat Kasha (Russian breakfast hot cereal)

Buckwheat is a very nutritious grain even though it is technically not a grain all all. It is seed! It also does not have any association with wheat thus it is gluten free. In some European countries it is considered a medicine and you can buy it at a drugstore! It is very highly praised for its low sugar, high fiber and iron content and other minerals.

1 cup of toasted buckwheat rinse well and add to a medium saucepan. Add 2 cups of water and 1/2 tsp of pink Himalayan salt.

Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat just to simmer and set a timer for 20 min. When the time is up, turn the heat off and let the buckwheat rest for 10 min. Then open the lid and fluff with a fork.

Serve with a generous tbsp of ghee or coconut oil and berries of your choice.

Enjoy!

The next day it can be reheated in microwave or on a frying pan (add ghee or coconut oil if using frying pan)
