Aunt Jemima Buckwheat

Quoted message said:

I noticed "Aunt Jemima Buckwheat Waffle & Pancake Mix" at the store
recently. Is buckwheat healthy for you? Is the Aunt Jemima product
healthy or did they lose a lot of the nutrients in the processing?

What's the best newsgroup on the internet for discussing healthy food?

I'm leary of prepared foods. What else is in it?

You can buy plain buckwheat if you want it vegan. Buckwheat is very high
in protein and fiber. My kids loved my buckwheat pancakes years ago. I
added blueberries. There are egg substitutes. I hope you enjoy it.

Kasha also has buckwheat.

Certainly a huge step off of white flower pancakes. All improvement is
important.

Wow, gardenia pancakes ... who knew? ;-)

I love buckwheat pancakes - it's nostalgia for me; my dad liked to make
them.

Buckwheat is a very healthy seed.
It's not actually a form of wheat at all.
It's in the same plant family as rhubarb.
My greatgrandmother lived past the
age of 100 and ate kasha everyday
right to the end. Kasha is a way of
preparing buckwheat where you fry
the seeds with some egg and then
add water to cook the bw, and then
add fried onions and sometimes
noodles. I'm sure the recipe can
be veganized. I read of a man who
lived past 100 who ate rhubarb every
day. That combined with my
knowledge of my greatgrandmother
makes me wonder if there is
something very good in this plant
family. Don't OD on buckwheat
though. If you eat too much you
might get itchy spots on your arms.
This happened to me once a long
time ago. I ate buckwheat stew
straight for a couple of days and
not much else. I read on the net
of this happening to other people
too.

You don't need the egg. It can be prepared like rice, adding some oil to the
boiling water before putting in the buckwheat. Pay closer attention to it
until the boil reduces to a simmer, stirring so it doesn't stick. Once the
simmer level is reached, it won't stick any more than rice.

Probably none. If you want to improve your knowledge about what is
healthy there is no substitute for reading books. I have some good ones
described at the link in my sig.

Sorry, can't answer those questions, but it tastes good. Not bad at all for
a mix.

I use Nunweiler's Buckwheat Pancake and Waffle Mix.
Whole wheat flour, buckwheat flour, and non-aluminum baking powder.
You don't need to add anything but water.
They are the best pancakes you will ever eat.

Some do - sodium aluminum sulfate. Others use cream of tartar, which is
potassium based.
