NEW! No Gluten Cake in a Mug Mix

MillMixes has a new product in the Cake in a Mug Mix range that contains NO GLUTEN! This cake is chocolate flavour and it is also made in a microwave.
 
The convenient single serving packet is perfect for anyone needing to cater for a person who does not eat gluten!
 
It is also the perfect size for everyone wanting to get some extra types of whole grains into their diet. The delicious cake contains stoneground brown rice flour and stoneground buckwheat flour. These two grains are super nutritious and both can be found on the world's healthiest foods list on www.whfoods.com.
 
The stoneground brown rice flour is wholesome brown rice ground into flour and this adds a bunch of special nutrients that are not found in white rice. "The process that produces brown rice removes only the outermost layer, the hull, of the rice kernel and is the least damaging to its nutritional value. The complete milling and polishing that converts brown rice into white rice destroys 67% of the vitamin B3, 80% of the vitamin B1, 90% of the vitamin B6, half of the manganese, half of the phosphorus, 60% of the iron, and all of the dietary fiber and essential fatty acids. Fully milled and polished white rice is required to be "enriched" with vitamins B1, B3 and iron." taken from http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=128, this interesting article about brown rice is worth your read for lots more information. 
 

Buckwheat is even more interesting and is packed full of everything good for you. Buckwheat is actually a fruit seed, although it is mostly used as a grain. "

Buckwheat's beneficial effects are due in part to its rich supply of flavonoids, particularly rutin. Flavonoids are phytonutrients that protect against disease by extending the action of vitamin C and acting as antioxidants. Buckwheat's lipid-lowering activity is largely due to rutin and other flavonoid compounds. These compounds help maintain blood flow, keep platelets from clotting excessively (platelets are compounds in blood that, when triggered, clump together, thus preventing excessive blood loss, and protect LDL from free radical oxidation into potentially harmful cholesterol oxides. All these actions help to protect against heart disease." The rest of the fabulous benefits of buckwheat can be read about at http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=11, where I got this information.

And these two super grains can be found in this delicious chocolate cake, super easy to make in under 5 minutes in a microwave!
