I cook buckwheat wtth bit of olive oil, bit of vinegar, salt or curry powder, (60 gr buckwheat 150 gr water, simmer for 15 minutes and rest fot another 5 minutes, healthy and delicious

I have been bodybuilding for like 23 years took a university nutritionist course and coach people for competitions and Thomas Delauer is just so spot on with everything and explains it in such a respectful way if that makes sense

Thing is, buckwheat is VERY high in oxalates. After consuming for a couple of years or so, this might show up in kidney stone, and oxalate deposits in other parts of the body including bladder, colon and many other places. Sally K talks about this on You Tube. Talking from experience. Thought I found the ticket years ago, than symptoms started! Many grains are high in oxalates, oats ironically with higher glycemic index is low.

I was reading a book on the Mongolian empire and it referenced how they were much more fat adapted because of their region and diet. This gave them an edge against the Chinese who were largely carb dependent off of rice. I thought that was interesting to read in a history book.

I've been eating kasha for over a year, which is buckwheat and can be found at any Eastern European store- Great for breakfast with butter in it.

Buckwheat is a staple for me. It's very tasty when made with olive oil and spices.

I love barley. I use it instead of rice when I need to eat anything that requires a rice recipe. Bulger is another great option as well.

Every once in a while I'll eat one or two pieces of Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grains bread. I don't feel deprived since I can still eat that and it's excellent. I might go through 1 loaf over a 2 month period. Stays frozen until I thaw a piece or 2

If you are discussing flours and grains, I think Quinoa should have been on the list. That mixed with a coconut and/or nut flour seemed to work good for me when I am not trying to do Keto. I even made pancakes for a neighbor who is diabetic and their blood sugar stayed stable. They were so excited!

[MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

For a long time, I ate a lot of "buckwheat" soba, thinking it was healthy. Then one day, I looked at the ingredients and realized basically all soba is mostly wheat, not buckwheat. Very deceptive marketing. That's a lesson I learned in my early 20s, and now I pretty much ignore the rest of the packaging and just focus on the nutrition label.

What about ancient grains, amaranth, sorghum etc

[SkepticalCaveman]

So buckwheat and millet pancakes for the cheat day instead of regular pancakes seems like good idea.

[LenHealsU]

Excellent as always! Thank you Thomas so much for taking the time to share your wonderful videos with us! What about Quinoa? How does that compare in all of this? And what about Oats?

[mettejensen]

I do believe proper sourdough ryebread is good for you and not too bad for the blood sugar either.

Great information. I keep a wide variety of grains in my house for my kids. I was hoping you would discuss ancient grains, like kamut and einkorn. Also, teff and spelt. Curious where they would fall in your list. Also, for someone trying to lose weight 🙋🏻‍♀️, is there a place for any of these grains, or would you say they would be solely to incorporate once reaching your goal weight? Also, does eating these grains (in flour form) along with sourdough change how you view them? We love sourdough kamut bread. My son is healing his gut eating sourdough daily. It’s pretty amazing (using organic AP flour and kamut with the sourdough starter).

I do well with quinoa, but not oats and definitely not wheat... If I eat too much quinoa though, I do notice the bloat setting in

Hey Thomas, Omega 6 - Omega 3 ratio is 20:1 in the case of barley, it should be avoided considering the ideal ratio of omegas is between 4:1 and 3:1

[yvonnedavis]

Buckwheat is number 1 go too! Millet being 2nd. So grateful for your content and knowing that I intuitively make the right choice non grain choice!

[dr.jeneenridgewaydcbcnd]

Hey Thomas! I appreciate the fact that you always differentiate between your speculations and science. I personally am not one to wait on studies when things are becoming obvious clinically. I also love the fact that your views are not dogmatic! Just THANK YOU‼️💚

If it wasn’t for your videos I wouldn’t know what food to potentially consume. Love the technical, difficult to pronounce medical jargon you use in explaining this information. It helps me look really smart when I quote your information to my friends.
