NEW! No Gluten Cake in a Mug Mix
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!
The No Gluten Cake in a Mug Mix can be bought at Vergelegen Kwikspar in Somerset West and also at the Sunday Blaauwklippen family market at Blaauwklippen Wine Estate on the R44 between Stellenbosh and Somerset West. Remember tasters are available at the market :-)
Can't wait to see you there!
