Super-Food of the Week: Reasons Why I LOVE Sprouted Buckwheat

Lately I’ve been starting my mornings off with a bowl of Raw, Vegan "Cereal" made with sprouted buckwheat, home-made almond milk, and any fruit I wish to pair with it. Typically I'll just add a few dates and gogi berries and I am set! :D
What makes me most happy about this delicious breakfast is that it’s so highly nutritional! Here are just a few reasons why I so LOVE sprouted buckwheat! 


Reason #1: It's Packed with Protein.
Sprouted buckwheat is one of the most complete sources of protein on the planet, containing all eight of the essential amino acids. 

Reason #2: It’s been known to help balance blood sugar levels and lower high blood pressure. This makes it an ideal option for diabetics or anyone wanting to cut down on sugar. 

Reason #3: It Acts as a Detoxifying Agent. 
Sprouted buckwheat cleanses the colon and alkalizes the body, aiding in detoxifying and restoring balance. 

Reason #4: It's Good for the Heart.
An amazing superfood, sprouted buckwheat is also full of Rutin, a compound known for strengthening capillary walls, and useful for those with varicose veins, hardened arteries, or hemorrhoids. 

Reason #5: It Works Wonders for Boosting Brain-Power!
In addition, sprouted buckwheat is also rich in Lecithin. Lecithin neutralizes toxins, purifies the lymphatic system, and balances cholesterol. Our brains are composed of 28% lecithin, and research has shown that consuming foods rich in  Lecithin can prevent and decrease symptoms of anxiety, depression, mental fatigue, brain fog, and make the brain all-around happier and healthier. 

Reason #6: It's Packed with Essential Nutrients. 
High in iron, boron, calcium, Co-Q10, magnesium, B vitamins, manganese, and selenium, Sprouted Buckwheat helps build blood, prevent osteoporosis, maintain a healthy heart, improve mood and nerve function, and promote general well-being. 

Talk about an amazing SUPER-Food! :D
