The Benefits of Buckwheat

We are very excited to welcome the new buckwheat pancake stall 'Meru Galettes' at Greenwich market. We often talk about the power of buckwheat at GNC and we're glad to see some love for this supreme superfood. 
In spite of it's misleading name buckwheat is completely gluten-free and wheat-free, so it's ideal for celiac disease sufferers and people with gluten intolerance. While it's as tasty as any grain it is in fact a seed, rich in mono saturated essential fats (winners for the heart) and boasting more protein than rice, wheat or millet. It is also high in the  amino acids lysine (potent antiviral for you cold-sore sufferers) and arginine (a great for alleviating caffeine withdrawal).
With their commitment to providing organic,  biodynamic and local produce we can highly recommend the madagascan chocolate and coconut crepe for all you plant based/ vegan/ Paleo/ eco conscious foodies out there.
