I grew up eating what my mother called Kasha and shells, which were buckwheat on pasta. I loved it, but when I tried buckwheat groats I was underwhelmed like you. But if you ever see kasha in your stores, you might want to try it too. It is a savory Eastern European dish, but the buckwheat groat is chopped smaller, and precooked in a toasted way that makes it delicious. You cook it in broth. Love your videos, can’t wait to try the pea soup and lentils
ahhhhh ok! I am adding Kasha on the list of things to watch out for. I love to pop to different supermarkets, like Asian, Polish etc. Hope I find it! Thank you
If you roast buckwheat in a dry pen for some minutes stirring all the time before cooking it, there will be much more flavour. I love buckwheat with veggies.
A video full of inspiration, thanks Nathalie. I love buckwheat and always have some pre cooked in the refrigerator. Boil it just in water, you can use it like rice or as a substitute for oats. For breakfast I just warm a splash of soymilk, put in some raisins, mushed banana half of an apple or pear, than add the buckwheat and turn the heat of. Let it rest for a few minutes. My grandchildren love it, but I‘m mad with oats too. Lovely greetings from Germany
LOVE the cinnamon and apples..........with oatmeal! Lol! Yea, I tried buckwheat last year and the bowl of it took a long time to go down the hatch. Same with Amaranth. I forgot what I made with it, but it was just not my group of grains. But, how will we know if we do not try, right? 🤔😫 The split pea looks delicicious. I like a little bit of chunks in my soups, so I puree about half. Yep, believe are the BEST lentil. That recipe looks really good. Ill be eating that tomorrow. By the way, I made the banana pancakes with a berry sauce and gave some to my carnivore neighbor. She's always saying "you know, keep this up and I'll be a vegan soon too!". Yep, I'll just keep delivering her more dishes of yumminess......😊😊😊
Quite right - trying new foods is a big part of the journey for me too! Love that you are a 'vegan food pusher' heheheh - LUCKY neighbour I say! Brilliant! Have a lovely weekend 😆💚🌎👋
As some others have said, dry fry your buckwheat groats first after rinsing, then cook the same way you cook rice, quinoa, with enough water to cook in, lid on and then you let it steam. I really like buckwheat as an alternate grain for lunch or dinner. Hadn't thought of it for breakfast apart from buckwheat pancakes (grinding the uncooked groats into flour). I am with you with oats for breakfast.
Loving your videos. Thanks for sharing! (Also, have to admit I could listen to you talk all day with your lovely accent:) Curious what part of the UK you reside in. I spend a lot of time overseas for work and often find myself in the UK.
ahh, ok thank you. It seems quite versatile actually. I tried it in pancakes today ruclips.net/video/Zcngtcnfh8k/видео.html which you can watch if you'd like 👋😀🍴💚
I use Plant Based Dads basic buckwheat recipe, doubling the quantity and adding (when the BW is cooked) 2 x cups of frozen berries liquidised , and the recipes spices. Once this is cold I pour into a container and place in the fridge. You can then take a ‘slice’ add more water or plant milk to rehydrate, as it firms up, topping with sliced banana and date syrup, for a fast breakfast, over 4 days +. I alternate this with a similar recipe but use oats, can’t let go of my inner Goldilocks go quite yet, I will try the soup and pasta this week, thanks.
I've very new to The Starch Solution and will be picking up the book from my library tomorrow. Correct me if I"m wrong regarding what your "mission: is with your channel, but I thought each meal is composed of a 50-50 plate/bowl. This breakfast menu would not be sustaining for me and I'm not a really big women..just barely in her BMI. I simply wish to lean up a bit with a couple pounds loss. Otherwise, I've enjoyed your meal ideas and look forward to gathering more ideas.
Hey Lisa! Yes, for weight loss the 5050 plate method is 100% recommended, and I do the 5050 plate most days, I think I didn't in this video as I got distracted trying something totally new 😆😆 I hope you enjoy the starch solution book! Have a lovely weekend.
No veg with your oats this morning? I am MAD for oats in the morning as well!! Mine was apple this morning too. Just like Goldilocks, we love our porridge!! I use groats in my soups and such for a little chew and to get my grains, never tried them for bfast!
I'm a new subscriber and really enjoying your Channel. I have made Buckwheat and remember that I heard that TOASTING the grains first, gives a great taste to the cooked Buckwheat. I SO love oats too!!
All of your meals look amazing today! Thank you for sharing, it gives me so many ideas and variety! I just love this clean way of eating, wish I had discovered it sooner.
Buckwheat makes good pancakes. Have you tried sorghum? It’s texture is a bit more firm and chewy than oatmeal, and it has a nutty flavor. It’s good mixed with oatmeal for breakfast, or by itself in a bowl type meal with greens and veggies etc…( Buddha bowl). Love you’re recipes and am really looking forward to your cookbook! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much. I like the sound of all 3 of your recipes. I tried the buckwheat a few weeks ago and have to agree with you about preferring oats but worth a try and will finish the packet over the next few weeks. I know some people use buckwheat in place of rice.
I eat oats most mornings but I'll have to try buckwheat just to try something new. I usually eat the same things most days. kind of like if it isn't broken, don't fix it but I would like to expand the types of food I eat. I'll definitely be trying the lentil mushroom pasta.
Absolutely loving your channel. Thank you for sharing, Natalie and please keep up the great work! About your cookbook, is it going to be a physical book? And if so, is delivery to Japan going to be available?
Great video 🥰 thanks for sharing. Have never tried buckwheat. I buy my oats in bulk so they are always handy but keen to try the buckwheat for something different. I've got a small bag of freekeh in the pantry, be keen to know if you have tried it...as I haven't yet! I love a good bolognaise, looks delicious 🤗
I can answer this, they’re pre cooked Merchant Gourmet brand, available in many British supermarkets. I’ve seen them in Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.
Well, I found them... in England. Might be elsewhere, but I see they are cooked with oil, so have to err on the side of saving the shipping, which is high. Thanks for starting me on a search to find new things. I love that. I will get creative with something here. Love the recipe.
Your skin is beautiful, so nice to see people taking care of themselves through eating healthy. God Bless
Very kind, thank you so much! 🙏
Please give a thumbs up to support for giving us al this healthy and easy recipes, love the soup and the pasta btw
Thank you Francisca 💚💚💚💚

My chopper is on ir's way. I can hardly wait. Thanks for showing it to us.
Me too, just ordered one!
You'll find it sooooooo helpful! 💚😊
You'll find it sooooooo helpful! 💚😊
I have tried it, and have it on hand. I like the toasted ones.
Toasting the buckwheat goats are better? Ill have to try that
@@snuffleufagus9771 .... I have toasted them myself too but, sometimes I can buy them already toasted.
If you roast buckwheat in a dry pen for some minutes stirring all the time before cooking it, there will be much more flavour. I love buckwheat with veggies.
THANK YOU - I will be trying that! 💚🍴

I must try your breakfast idea. Thanks
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing, I will certainly try that way with the Buckwheat! I appreciate your comment xxx

Believe should be beluga lentils.

Thanks Colleen, I will certainly try this grain with a savour dish - I can see how that would be lovely! 💚
Yes I agree. Thats how I use it....instead of rice etc
Loving your videos. Thanks for sharing! (Also, have to admit I could listen to you talk all day with your lovely accent:) Curious what part of the UK you reside in. I spend a lot of time overseas for work and often find myself in the UK.
Oh thank you! I do not hear my accent (isn't it funny how that goes!)
I am in Hertfordshire, its a beautiful part of the country!
I use buckwheat in a dry cereal mix I make. 🙂
ahh, ok thank you. It seems quite versatile actually. I tried it in pancakes today ruclips.net/video/Zcngtcnfh8k/видео.html which you can watch if you'd like 👋😀🍴💚
Ive only ever used buckwheat in savoury dishes. I cook mine in a little stock for flavour then add to budha bowls etc
Sounds great! I will try mine mixed with rice tomorrow!
Yummy meals thank you so much for sharing take care lovely 🥰🌹 xxx
You're so welcome! Have a wonderful weekend! 💚

Wow, I would never think to make that! Thank you - sounds very interesting (and quick and easy!) 💚
Love the china. Makes food look lovely.😁
It does! It's all from www.emmabridgewater.co.uk I have collected for years! 💚

I must have been so distracted with cooking a new breakfast! heheheh
I bet they are wonderful in soups - I'll try that thank you
oat groats are yummy but need some prep plus it freeze well
ok, thanks so much - I won't give up!
I'm a new subscriber and really enjoying your Channel. I have made Buckwheat and remember that I heard that TOASTING the grains first, gives a great taste to the cooked Buckwheat. I SO love oats too!!
Thanks for subbing! A few people have mentioned toasting Buckwheat, I will certainly try that! Thank you (and welcome) !
All of your meals look amazing today! Thank you for sharing, it gives me so many ideas and variety! I just love this clean way of eating, wish I had discovered it sooner.
You are so welcome! I feel the same way as you!

I have not tried sorghum, and now I will look out for it! Thank you Dawn 💚💚💚
Soup and pasta will be trying soon. Need help with the chopping....as have broken my wrist😀
oh no.... sending love and healing x

I suggest mixing oats with the buckwheat - that's what I will try anyway - I think it will be delicious!
Enjoy the pasta!
Absolutely loving your channel. Thank you for sharing, Natalie and please keep up the great work!
About your cookbook, is it going to be a physical book? And if so, is delivery to Japan going to be available?
THANK YOU!
The book will be e-book AND physical. I hope it will be available in Japan (I am putting it on Amazon) - so it should be ok!
Great video 🥰 thanks for sharing. Have never tried buckwheat. I buy my oats in bulk so they are always handy but keen to try the buckwheat for something different. I've got a small bag of freekeh in the pantry, be keen to know if you have tried it...as I haven't yet! I love a good bolognaise, looks delicious 🤗
I have not tried Freekeh (yet) - I will look out for it though. Keep an eye on the channel, it might turn up! 😆💚🍴
@@WholeheartedVegan haha that would be great. I think I'm too scared incase I mess it up! 😂
I'm trying to figure out your lentils. Are they precooked? Where did you find them?
I can answer this, they’re pre cooked Merchant Gourmet brand, available in many British supermarkets. I’ve seen them in Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.
Thank you Bird Song! I have been out and about today with family....
@@Lola-Yo ... Thanks. Ixm in the States, so I'll look, but if not, I can make something, or find a substitute. Nice to know.
Well, I found them... in England. Might be elsewhere, but I see they are cooked with oil, so have to err on the side of saving the shipping, which is high. Thanks for starting me on a search to find new things. I love that. I will get creative with something here. Love the recipe.
