Do you sometimes fancy some bread but know that your gut won't be happy if you have some?
Your gut will love this bread! Despite its name, buckwheat does not contain any wheat and is gluten free. It is high in minerals, antioxidants, fibre and can help control blood sugar.
This bread is easy to make, and you can easily freeze some of it to have at a later stage.

550ml of water
Spices as you desire

Cover kernels with water and add 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar

Tips:
