I'm with GypsySoul! I can't find raw buckwheat groats.

Hi I just went to whole foods and looked at the cocoa powder. None of it said raw but does anyone know if they sell a raw one? Thanks!

Yum, I've tried their vanilla one before. Thanks for posting I needed the basic ratios. I almost made this one but I had some pulp to use up so I'm experimenting with 1 1/2c buckwheat, 1/2c pulp of apple carrot and beet with a little ginger. 2tbsp cinnamon instead of cacoa and 1/4c agave with 1/4c acacia honey, I kept the tbsp vanilla and used 2 pinches of salt. I'll let you know how it turns out but so far it smells divine!

Response to writeeternity. They do but it is labeled cacao powder and usually in a raw food section with kale chips, raw granola bars and the like. It's not with the chocolates or the cocoa powder in the baking section. The ones out here usually have nibs in a few different brands and powder in at least one. If not it's one amazon, oneluckyduck.com and a host of other websites.

I got mine (hulled buckwheat- oragnic!) in a bulk bin at a local healthfood store and am in the process of soaking them right now! I can't wait to see how it turns out-- sounds something like my kids would love!

Raw buckwheat groats are kind of white and green and pale tan. If they look brownish, they're probably roasted. Anything called kasha is roasted. Here are a couple more links to actually raw buckwheat groats: http://www.goldminenaturalfoods.com/raw/detail.aspx?ID=114 , http://www.amazon.com/Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats-Certified-Hydroponics/dp/B000RW7DRO . You may find buckwheat with the black hull still on; these are raw and sproutable but you definitely don't want to use them for this kind of recipe; the hull is very very hard.

Try amazon.com, and search for buckwheat organic Bob's Red Mill.

You can get 128 oz. (that's 8 16 oz. bags!) for 24 bucks.

Where do you find raw buckwheat groats? I have been trying to find them online and can't.....

These are great!! Especially with walnut milk!! Even some of the non-raw members of our family like it. We are converting them recipe by recipe. (smile) Thanks to all you recipe contributers, We appreciate you!!

My Whole Foods doesn't carry it, but some do. Does yours have a separate raw food section? That's usually where you can find it. Also, Amazon.com usually has the cheapest prices on raw organic cacao nibs and powders--and often free shipping if you spend $25 or more.

Boy these are great! can't stop eating them!

thanks

This recipe sounds great--will try! Writeeternity, I believe the label should say raw cacao (powder or nibs, which I usually grind to a powder in my grinder). I've found them at our local supplement store (but not healthfood store) and online. They also make a yummy chocolate milk.

I've made the cinnamon version of this before and it's definitely one of those "can't believe it's raw recipes." So yummy! Much better than any rice cake I've ever had!

You can break it apart into small pieces like cereal, and it's great with any kind of nut or seed milk or on its own as a snack. It stores well...if you can stop from munching on it, that is. :) I think I'll have to revisit this recipe sometime soon, maybe with cacao powder.

Is this supposed to be like a rice cake? It sounds good.
