Spring Soba Noodle Salad
Welcome the transition of seasons and celebrate Whole Day for Whole Grain with this Spring Soba Noodle Salad. This recipe is balanced, filling and packed with fiber, protein, healthy fats. Also perfect for meal prepping.
Soba noodles are made out of buckwheat, a gluten-free pseudo grain that is considered a whole grain. Be careful when you pick out soba noodles, because most of them use wheat as well. I chose this brand because it is made with 100% buckwheat.
Whole Day for Whole Grain is an annual celebration that takes place on the 3rd Wednesday of March. This health promotion is created by the Whole Grains Council to encourage folks to #samplewholegrains!
I love this noodle salad so much but I was torn about showcasing it for Whole Day for Whole Grain because this soba noodle brand does not meet the 10-11% threshold of fiber grams per one serving. I reached out to the Whole Grain Council for some guidance and learned that each grain has its own fiber threshold.
Buckwheat is at 4.5 gram per serving to be considered whole grain. Although this soba noodle brand had 2g of fiber per serving it is still whole grain, but it's not 100%. Caroline Sluyter of the Whole Grains Council said, "We like to say that when it comes to nutrition it’s important not to make perfect the enemy of good - that it doesn’t have to be 100% whole grain all the time to be beneficial. Every little bit of whole grain makes a difference."
I hope this message resonates with y'all when trying whole grains for Whole Day for Whole Grains.

Butterfly Pea Flower Latte Recipe Recipe
I love your method, thank you for sharing it!
I just made it the first time by soaking it in plain water overnight. I was going to drain and rinse the next day, but since I didn’t have cheese cloth, I just cooked it in the soaking water for 20 min. It cooked down into a cream of wheat like texture. I ate it with fresh butter I made from cream and it was delicious. Is it better to drain the soaking water, or do you loose nutrients?
I see what you mean 👌
Thank you for this info!
What does it taste like?
For your face is sabor?
No this is not whole food Bajri millet it darker in the appearence sorei❤
Thank you
Hi Kala, can we soak the fsrro overnight n cook the nxt day. Can it save the cooking time.?
Thank you for such a clear and concise video! I am new to growing basil and parsley and didn’t know how I was going to clean and store the bounty that my two plants are producing. This was very helpful!! 🌱🌿
Just so you know you can use the stems (and this also goes for hearty stems like rosemary, thyme, sage, and basil) throw into your vegetable stock mix, or stuff inside chicken during roasting or even make a healthy Tea or blend for sauce. Just FYI also growing herbs yourself instead of store bought eliminates the process of losing nutrients from all the time it takes to get from farm to grocery stores so Nutritional value and benefits of them is still present. I recommend you start a herb garden on your kitchen window seal or somewhere they can thrive and always have organic fresh herbs. Happy Healthy Life.👍
Thanks for the knowledge. I lost this skill and I ended up doing three pineapples after watching this! 👍👍😁🇺🇸
This video had nothing to with health or with cooking! Where are the "3 ways"?? How long the buckwheat cooks is the least important thought about it. Why not share how buckwheat is delicious and high in nutrition? It can be used in so many sweet or savory dishes!
Music background is annoying & loud
Thank you for sharing your technique! I just peeled two grapefruits using your method. Before I learned your method, I was losing so much of the fruit with my method. As you mention in the video, I didn't lose a lot of the juice peeling with my hands only ... and I love the juice. Again, thank you very much!
Mostly all Indian stores carry it. Called Rajgira.
Thanks so much for the video! I’m a new subscriber!🎉
Thanks for the recipes, but your music is too loud.
Just used this, first pineapple dissection - worked great thank you.
This salad seems good for health. Nice Video
This is so informative… you’ve just gained a new subscriber
great video thank you for all the info!
That looks like a very convenient option to make whole grain bread. Instead of grinding it you can just cook it down till you get a dough like consistency.
I don't understand why the recipe calls for 1 carrot or 135 grams but you have used 4 carrots? Even on the original recipe with the link you have provided, there is only 1 carrot shown. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this. They look like average sized carrots not the mini ones. Thank you otherwise!! Looks great.
Always wash your fruits before consuming 😊
Great video, your recipe looks like it is delicious. Weighing everything is a great tip to ensure the consistency of the flavor. The only problem I would have with this recipe is that I don't cook with or eat sugar. I don't use any sugar substitutes, I only use honey occasionally, and on a rare occasion, I use maple syrup. Can I substitute either honey or maple syrup for the sugar?
Does it have to be cooked in instant pot, will rice cooker works i mean reducing the arsenic in brown rice with rice cooker?
This is great if you love to peel ...
The term Latinx is offensive!👎
Great video. Thks
Do you just wash them in water? Nothing else? I'm new to this and trying to learn.
Thank you. If you knew how much cilantro I waste you'd cry.
My daughter bought me a dragon fruit, i didn't even know how to cut it or eat it. Thank you for the simple video. I hope It works out as easy as it looks.
Thank you so much for this video! I used to hate grapefruit for its bitterness because I never knew how to properly prepare it. I had to put sugar on it to be able to eat it. I then learned about the cutting method and was amazed how GOOD the fruit tasted with the pith removed! But it was wasteful like you said and messy to do somewhat. I can't wait to try your method because it seems much more natural. I know it will taste good already so I hope to try it tomorrow! <3
I’m Moorish-American and appreciate this video. As a vegan for over 40 years I want to include it in my meals. Thank you.
Now this is interesting because the organic farro that I get locally says to simmer it for 10 minutes and drain, then rest for 10 minutes. I wonder why.
too messy and you have to clean all that peel from out your nails, just use a paring knife and spoon, enjoy !
I am curious if boiling the water first would be indicate ❤
How do you clean amaranth without losing most of them through a sifter?
good question, maybe cheese cloth?...
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Jennifer for watching and commenting. I hope you do give it a try and enjoy as much of the delicious and juicy grapefruit with this method.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Which herbs will you be prepping next?
Can you put the basil through the salad spinner like the cilantro? Or is that too rough?
Thanks for watching and asking. You can use the salad spinner for that as well, works best if you have lots of basil! I was going to make pesto this week and I would have put it in the salad spinner but we used too much basil through the week.
@@kalahealthandwellness thank you! Have a great day! 🌱🌿
You too happy Earth month! 🌎🌿
Ok so THAT's how they do it.
Yes, it’s mesmerizing how it turns out! Thanks for watching!!!
@@kalahealthandwellness Yeah I saw them on the streets selling this in Philippines.
It’s a seed not a grain
Thanks for watching! You are right, it is both. It's classified as a pseudograin. wholegrainscouncil.org/whole-grains-101/grain-month-calendar/buckwheat-december-grain-month
Take a deeper pan so that the seeds don’t jump out
Great idea :-) Thanks for watching!
Looks delicious, the dressing sounds amazing ❤good to have you back
Thank you 💛 Happy you said so 💛
Nice to see you back!!! ❤️❤️
Thanks so much Claudia! Keep up the momentum on your end 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@kalahealthandwellness Awww. Aren't you sweet! Thank you so much!
Ngl... I hate health food... but that looks GOOD
Hahaha! You’re on to something there. Good food is good food. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Soon ad the music kicked in I stopped listening.
Thanks for seeing a few seconds and your feedback. I find music helps tell the story. But I hear you, I’m working on keeping the music at a Goldilocks volume.
stupid, your music is louder than your balabs.
