Description
Our Okanagan Apple cereal blend is a unique blend of whole grain oats, buckwheat, brown flax and the ancient grain emmer. This thoughtfully crafted medley combines an array of carefully selected organic whole grains and seeds, each brimming with nutritional benefits. The addition of Okanagan grown dried apples and organic cinnamon create a delightful, delicious breakfast option.
Okanagan Apple cereal can be enjoyed as a soaked or cooked cereal. Flax seeds when soaked release a soluble mucilaginous that becomes gelatinous when mixed with water. When soaked, flax seeds become more digestible and release certain nutrients more efficiently. They are an excellent source of dietary fiber, providing a boost to digestive health. Flax seeds are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, this blend serves as a versatile breakfast option. Okanagan Apple cereal offers the convenience of organic dried apple mixed into the blend and a packet of organic cinnamon ready for sprinkling. Cooked or soaked, the smell and taste of this wholesome breakfast will be like waking up to dessert for breakfast.
