Gluten Free Porridge Benefits:

Buckwheat: Buckwheat is not technically a grain, and is rather a nutrient-dense seed with a low glycaemic index. It contains a wide range of antioxidants, as well as anti-inflammatory compounds. It is higher in protein than other whole grains, with 12.6 g per 100g, and also notably high in fibre, with 10g per 100g. Buckwheat is also a great source of the vitamin B complex.

Quinoa: Quinoa is another seed like buckwheat. It contains 12.3 g of protein per 100g and also all the essential amino acids, including lysine – which is vital for tissue growth and development, making it an ideal baby food. Quinoa contains high levels of calcium, iron, potassium, sodium and zinc, as well as copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus. Newly published research in Current Developments in Nutrition shows that eating even a small amount of quinoa every day can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Chia: Chia seeds do have an unusually high content (18%) of omega-3 fatty acids. These are a group of essential fats that are important for heart health and brain function. They're also packed with iron and calcium and are a fantastic source of fibre.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon is a powerful spice that has been used medicinally around the world for thousands of years. It is rich in antioxidants and other beneficial compounds.
