As more people embrace specialised diets and alternative food choices, the demand for organic grain-free breakfast cereals is on the rise. Whether driven by dietary needs such as paleo, keto, gluten-free, or low-carb lifestyles, or a desire to reduce overall grain intake from traditional organic breakfast cereals, consumers are looking for nutritious, wholesome alternatives.
MEET THE BUCKIES
Meet the Buckies – a tasty trio of activated organic and grain-free goodness from 2die4 Live Foods, which can be enjoyed for breakfast or as a tasty anytime snack.
What are Buckies? Buckies are grain-free clusters of goodness made from protein-packed organic, activated buckwheat. Grain-free you say? Yes – despite the name, Buckies contain no wheat, making them ideal for those who have sensitivities to traditional grains. They’re basically an amazing tasting healthy breakfast option!
Super crunchy and bursting with flavour, Buckies clusters are perfect for breakfast lovers and health-conscious snackers alike. The three flavour creations, Coco-Berry Clusters, Caramelised Clusters and Cacao Clusters are the result of literally months and months of crafting and perfecting blends of ingredients to create each unique flavour, taste, crunch and cluster of this tasty range. The innovation team at 2die4 didn’t want ordinary when it came to creating these nutritious breakfast (non) cereals – they wanted a range that was memorable and, well, 2die4! For example, in the Coco- Berry Custers, a sprinkling of Organic Beetroot Powder was added to the blend, so when you add milk in your breakfast bowl, your milk turns pink!
WHAT IS BUCKWHEAT?
Buckwheat is not a type of wheat, but a gluten-free seed packed with essential nutrients. It’s a relative of the rhubarb plant and sorrel and is high in fibre, protein, and a range of vitamins and minerals including potassium and magnesium, which are often lacking in our diets. Not sure which Buckies to try - here’s a quick rundown:
Caramelised Clusters: These crunchy caramelly clusters of goodness are made with a wholefood blend of activated buckwheat, agave, with the superfood’s mesquite and maca and a pinch of Celtic Sea Salt, providing a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavour.
Coco Berry: These colourful buckwheat clusters have been created using crispy activated buckwheat, organic berries and coconut chips, and are the perfect way to start your day. Coco Berry Clusters even turn your milk pink!
Cacao Clusters: These Cacao Clusters are a delicious and wholesome mixture of rich chocolatey goodness made with a wholefood blend of activated buckwheat, sustainably sourced raw cacao, coconut with a selection of superfoods and fruit. Yum!
