Here's an all-raw cereal that has been a family favorite:

4 c. mixed crunchy sunflower seeds, pumpkins seeds & chopped walnuts

8 c. buckwheat crunchies (soak buckwheat groats 4 hrs, put in colander,

rinse, drain, set over plate for 1- 2 days, rinsing once a day,

dehydrate 18-24 hours)

6 c. finely shredded coconut

3 c. raisins

Combine above in a plastic bucket with a tight-fitting lid. Make a sauce

from 1/2 c. softened coconut oil, 1 T. vanilla, 1/2 c. honey, & 1/2 T.

celtic sea salt. Warm the sauce to soften the honey. Stir it in well

with the other ingredients. Serve in bowls with milk. Variations that we

like are topping with bee pollen or adding cinnamon or raw carob powder

to the sauce.

I bought mine from http://www.wildernessfamily.com

Went in on it with friends so we got it, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, for

$35/gallon (had to get 25 gallons to get that rate). It's super fresh and turns

out it's actually a product of fermentation.. they ferment the coconut to

separate the oil. It's all cold, all natural and organic.. done the traditional

way!

Those buckwheat groats should be cooked--NEVER eat grains raw. Sally

The buckwheat crunchies are sprouted and then dehydrated buckwheat

groats.. that's the way we use them, not " raw " .

Besides in cereal, sometimes we grind them in the food processor and

then add an equal amount of coconut, blend and then add another equal

amount (to the original amount of flower) of dates. Grind all together

and shape into logs, chill an hour or so and then slice.. they taste

like sugar cookies.

The flour is also useful for thickening doughs. I always keep some

buckwheat crunchies on hand.
