Here is a simple flavour packed meal to try! Have you used buckwheat in your cooking before? Buckwheat has more protein than rice, wheat or corn and is high in the essential amino acids lysine and arginine, in which major cereal crops are deficient. Its unique amino acid profile gives buckwheat the power to boost the protein value of beans and cereal grains eaten the same day. Yet, buckwheat contains no gluten—the source of protein in true grains—and is therefore safe for people with gluten allergy or celiac disease.
Throw in a can of tuna, a few olives and cherry tomatoes and mix through a spoonful of our Dairy Free Pesto and you have a high protein meal which is absolutely brimming with taste. This recipe is entirely gluten and dairy free!
