buckwheat......my sunday pancake

There have been questions about buckwheat....containing WHEAT

The first thing you should know about buckwheat is that it’s gluten free.

Despite its unfortunate (for celiacs) name buckwheat is a fruit. It’s a dicot in the polygonaceae family, which also includes rhubarb and sorrel.

Buckwheat has a variety of healthful properties. It’s an excellent plant source of easily digestive protein and contains all eight essential amino acids, so it’s close to being a "complete" protein. Buckwheat is also high in fiber (a big bonus for celiacs), B vitamins and, according to a USDA study, keeps glucose levels in check better than other carbohydrates -- which is good news for celiacs who also have diabetes. It’s also said to lower blood pressure and reduce cholesterol.

SO PLEASE JOIN ME FOR BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES
NEXT SUNDAY at the santa monica farmer's market
(i always bring enzymes just incase)

i would like to squash the rumors right now!
the buckwheat pancakes do NOT taste like carpet
and yes i know the buttermilk ones taste "better"
but taste doesnt seem to matter........
you notice me sitting up irregularly straight about 10 minutes after consumption
