While hot breakfast cereal takes many forms, this version featuring kasha is perfect for kick-starting your day. Kasha, or roasted buckwheat, is the edible fruit seed of a plant related to rhubarb and, despite the name, is not related to wheat at all and is, in fact, gluten-free. With plenty of high quality protein and good amounts of fiber, calcium, iron and B vitamins, kasha gets your day off to a healthy start.
