Green buckwheat - "live" buckwheat, "queen of groats"!

When I first thought about healthy eating, basically this happened after stress and the darkness of sores, then I realized - the less nasty I use, the better body feels, the more beautiful the hair and skin.

I have certain problems with the body, which are treated only for years, and maybe operations.

Therefore, to support the body, nourishing it with everything useful and valuable - for me suddenly came to the fore.

At first I have eliminated or replaced sugar, for example, with these products:

• Natural grape sugar Ambrosia is a liquid form of glucose and fructose.
• Cocugar is a real organic sugar (paste) from Thailand.

Later I began to use healthy seeds and special spices. For example, I drink a turmeric smoothie every morning. I add it periodically to smoothies legendary CHIA seeds , and daily - a few things black cumin seed.

Then I have reduced the amount of wheat flour I eat that contains gluten ... You can laugh and condemn, but my sores are harmful to gluten, as a result of which the intestines can often suffer.

Partially replaced wheat flour with other types of flour, for example Buckwheat brown flour, or on the hero of this review - green buckwheat flour.

To your organic, natural, interesting and wellness order, made in a wonderful ❀ Eco-Market "Al-Sihha" ❀ I included one of the finest flour foods ever.

I want to say that buckwheat flour, exactly from green buckwheat, replaced my wheat completely: I make fries with it, pancakes, pancakes, etc., and most importantly - sometimes I make dough with it, after which I make dumplings or dumplings.

Of course, I am still addicted to wheat in the purchased yeast dough, for example, or bread.

To taste, green buckwheat flour does not have the taste of ordinary roasted buckwheat at all. Sometimes there is something nutty in it, but it seems like no one else except me tastes that way.

Generally - the taste of green buckwheat flour is almost identical to that of wheat flour.

Green buckwheat flour lowers glucose levels and keeps blood sugar under control.

Green buckwheat flour is very good for roasting.

For example, I cooked a "breaded" chicken with her (like).

Recently my husband brought a lot of fish from fishing. And there is nothing to do - I decided to fry it, roll it in flour and put it in the pan.

I understand that I am here screaming about healthy food, and suddenly bam! - and a frying pan of butter. Yes Yes. But I'm just in a transitional state. And there is no way to fry the fish anymore. And boiled or baked River fish- just disgusting, it has too many bones.

And as you can see from the photo, I didn't bother too much. It just looks so-so, but the taste is delicious!

In general, it is difficult to make any baked goods from this flour. I mean, baked goods like bread. All the same, gluten is the very glue that acts as a connecting link. But with buckwheat flour, this will not work - there is no glue.

My pastries sometimes disintegrated, they were still fragile.

With the help of buckwheat, you can improve your mood and reduce the risk of developing depression due to the hormone dopamine it contains.

But here I can say that I agree, because the very thought of healthy food raises me to the seventh heaven! This means that the mood rises))

It is very difficult to say about the reaction of my body to the replacement of flour. It doesn't seem to be felt. And how can you see this difference?

I just know what's useful. And that's all, perhaps))

Buckwheat helps to increase the level of hemoglobin and hematopoiesis, remove toxins from the body, normalize weight, increase immunity.

An effective means of preventing cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, metabolic disorders, diabetes.

In general, I highly recommend this flour.

The quality is high!

And we need vitamins now.
