Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat Waffles! Welcome to Dr. Jeff Bland's Kitchen

Well, welcome and good morning. I want to share with you a little experiment I'm going to be involved with here, which is making Himalayan Tartery Buckwheat super nutrition waffles for this morning's breakfast. And here's our super nutrition Himalayan Tartery Buckwheat flour, which is, as far as I know, the only flower in the world that's certified for its high phytochemical immune modulating opportunity. Over 11,000 milligrams for a thousand grams of this flower of immune active phytochemicals. And then here is what I'm going to be doing here over the course of the next. This is our. If you get the flour, you'll get this, this card, which has on the back the recipe for the mix that I'm going to be using. So with that, let's, let's get started. This is going to be a fun project. So what all do you need just to kind of lay out the tools here? Tools are pretty simple. A whisk, spatula, measuring cups, measuring spoons, a couple of bowls to do our mixing. And I use also this little bowl to liquefy the coconut oil. And then there is our ingredients. Not too complex, obviously, starting with the Himalayan Tartery Buckwheat super nutrition flour nut milk. Then we use cage free Omega 3 rich eggs, two of them. Then we have our organically certified coconut flour, our organically certified coconut oil. We use this monk fruit certificate sweetener. You know, low glycemic load, no, no sugar. Then we have our baking materials, our baking soda and our baking powder. The magic, however, are obviously the flavoring enhancers, our organic vanilla extract and our super chimex. And the chimex we put together ahead of time. And if you look at the recipe, it includes nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamom and cinnamon. So obviously very, very strong, pungent and extraordinary good flavor and a little bit of salt that represents the ingredients that you need to assemble. And we will get going in putting it all together. Well, here I am again. Now we're ready to start doing the actual preparation. So what I've done is I put all the dry ingredients here and mixed it well. So we've got that all set. I've got the eggs here, the organic eggs ready to go. And I've got the liquid materials, which is the vanilla extract and the nut milk, almond milk there. So I think we're cool. And all we need to do now is to mix these together and have at it. So let's pour the dry Material here and then we'll go to the liquid material here, liquid ingredients. And then lastly, probably no necessary order of priority here, we'll add the eggs. And then use the magic kitchen helper, the whisk to. After I get some preliminary mixing here, I use the whisk to really start making this into the final. You know, it's very interesting actually with Himalayan tartery buckwheat because it's such high phytochemical content that it has a really interesting color profile. You know, if we eat the rainbow, this particular flower makes it really interesting. Variegation of the rainbow, very kind of an interesting mauve orange tint to it because of the high phytochemicals. It's like unlike anything I've ever seen in the way of flower. It's really very interesting. So now go to the whisk and we'll start to. And the color actually as it hydrates, the flower hydrates, it actually starts to change color, which is interesting. I think it's a combination of the oxygen and the water hydrating and maybe the liberation of enzymes within the whole flower. But you start to see it actually taking on a different kind of color and it becomes even more vivid when you, when you cook it. And you'll see that as we get into the waffle cooking component of this process. So if you look at the color here, you notice it's, it's a kind of an interesting starting to turn a little bit more into the yellow brown, which it'll get even more as we get into the cooking. So I think we're ready to start cooking. We've. Oh no we're not. Oh boy, shame on me. In the microwave I have the last important ingredient. Liquid. Ah boy. See I almost forgot which is the coconut oil which I melted one minute in the microwave was able to melt it into a homogeneous because as you know, coconut oil has a solidification temperature that's about room temperature. So now I'm glad we, glad we thought of that. That would have been a real bit of a disaster. So there we go. Now we have the complete all the ingredients in here now stirred and properly ready to put into our waffle iron. So hold tight and we'll start cooking. I'm back. I want to give you a little bonus here. Just a 30 second bonus. And this is a trip. This is a kind of a secret. If you want to really spice it up, add some macadamia nut pieces to the bitter and then the other thing which will spice it up when you've completed it. We are very fortunate to have received from Dr. Tom Gillums some of his own homemade, real maple syrup. And this is a treat. This is like the mother liquor. This is like you parse it out in gram quantities, but that's going to make our kind of special version of our Himalayan tartery Buckwheat chives super nutrition waffles. Thanks so much. Well, here I am again. We've had a couple of minutes of cooking. I think we're ready to look at the results of our experiment. By the way, this is a very low glycemic preparation, and we've studied this. Oh, look at that. Oh, my word. See what I mean by the interesting color and perfect timing? You can hear the little buzzer going off. So here it is, our first Himalayan tardy buckwheat waffles coming off this batch. Oh, yes, very nice. Now, if you like maple syrup, I've been suggesting that this monk fruit sweetener, which is no sugar, might be an alternative for those of you that want to use sweetener, some type. But this is really a supercharged breakfast. Very high in fiber, very high in prebiotics, very high in vitamins and minerals, high in zinc and magnesium. Interestingly, it has a lot of D Chiro inositol in it, which you probably know is good for blood sugar, low glycemic response. And then it's got this pack treasure trove of phytonutrients, the immune potentiating portfolio of more than 100 different phytonutrients from the flavonoid polyphenol family. So here it is. This was our Himalayan tartary buckwheat waffle experiment. Thanks so much for being part of the process. Now, the fun part, obviously, is eating. Enjoy.
