Vegetables Buckwheat is an awesome gluten-free vegetarian dish. You can even serve it as a main dish, simply add sprouted lentils to the dish. You can sprout the lentils at home using a sprouts kit.

Buckwheat is probably a preferred choice when comparing to most other grains. Buckwheat is not a grain, but a seed of a plant related to rhubarb. Next time you’re looking for a side dish to your meal, try to replace the rice or tomatoes with buckwheat. When cooked right this is a delicious dish to have with meat fish or chicken.

Main Benefits of Buckwheat

The nutrients in Buckwheat may contribute to blood sugar control and heart health. Although this is not a low carb dish, If you need to get out of ketosis this is a great dish to have.

Try this Vegetables Buckwheat recipe, it’s a tasty and healthy dish. This version is a simple side dish that goes great with our chicken in pesto and olives dish. I used organic buckwheat for this dish and added the vegetables. Add sprouted lentils and you can make it a complete vegetarian meal.

For the vegetables use whatever you have at home or the ones you like. I love adding onion, garlic, ginger, zucchini, mushrooms and sometimes even carrots.
