Raw Porridge with Flax (Linseed) and Fruit

A lovely super-healthy breakfast

This is a lovely summer breakfast and perfect porridge for people who like the taste of raw oats in muesli but don’t like cooked porridge.

Despite being a light delicate food, tasting richly of fruit and a pretty colour this is an excellent sustaining breakfast that really sets you for the day. The ground flax and Flaxseed oil means of slow-release energy to see you through to lunchtime. Flax makes this raw summer porridge really rich and creamy and keeps you satisfied. It also adds lots of omega-3, dietary and soluble fibre and antioxidants.

Removes Phytic Acid

Soaking oats helps to remove phytic acid which can be considered and “anti-nutrient” because it can block our absorption of minerals.

Raw or uncooked both are delicious

You can do it purist way, by sprouting oat groats or oatmeal over night or longer, or simply by soaking uncooked rolled porridge oats, jumbo oats or Flax porridge. Sprouting and soaking reduces phytic acid in foods. Sprouting creates a raw sprouted food similar to bean sprouts with enhanced nutrients and enzyme activity.  Both ways make a lovely creamy sustaining breakfast.
