A recipe for you, on Nutrition Month<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTo celebrate Nutrition Month, I would like to share one of my recipes which uses roasted buckwheat, a grain that is grown locally in Canada. Buckwheat pancakes are well known, but using roasted buckwheat is a little less so. Being multi-purpose, buckwheat can also be served with lunch or dinner as a substitute for rice, potatoes, or quinoa, and can also be eaten in a salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to its pancake version for breakfast, buckwheat may also be prepared as a hot cereal with a plant-based beverage or milk, flavoured with a fruit, cinnamon, and\/or a touch of maple syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On that note, I wish you a delicious Nutrition Month!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nJohanne V\u00e9zina, Dt.P. Speaker & Nutritionist<\/p>\n\n\n\n
