I have made this kasha (roasted buckwheat) porridge daily for the last two months. It’s perfect for people who don’t enjoy oatmeal but want the benefits of whole grains in the morning.
Buckwheat is loaded with fibre, iron and amino acids. It’s considered a sustainable crop, and it grows locally in Canada! It’s also speedy to prepare, less than 10 minutes on the stovetop. Are you sold yet?
If you make this recipe, you must try pairing it with my Mouthwatering Roasted Maple Pecans which make the perfect porridge toppers.

Why Kasha?
Kasha is a nutritious and versatile grain that is high in fiber, protein, and minerals. It is also low in fat and calories, making it a great choice for those looking to maintain a healthy diet. Kasha is also a great source of complex carbohydrates, which can help to provide sustained energy throughout the day. Additionally, kasha is gluten-free, making it a great option for those with gluten sensitivities.
