FEBRUARY’S HEART-HEALTHY RECIPE

Kapha-Balancing (without too much ghee)

Tired of the same healthy breakfast?  Try a new grain to wake up to the morning.

Introducing….Buckwheat!

1 part Buckwheat groats

3 parts water

A bit of ghee or butter

fresh berries or honey or stevia

cinnamon to taste

Boil the water, then add your buckwheat.  Let boil until water is absorbed.  Stir in ghee, sweetener and cinnamon to taste.  Enjoy!

Buckwheat is a deliciously nutty and overlooked grain available in your health food store’s bulk food section.

It is great for Kapha types or for those who suffer from excess mucus or congestion this time of year, it is an ideal alternative to heavy, sticky grains like oatmeal.
