  • 🌾 Buckwheat: The Next Big Trend in Health Foods 🌾 Buckwheat is rapidly emerging as the next big trend in health foods. According to The New York Times, "It's gonna be buckwheat's year," says Cathy Strange of Whole Foods Market. Featured in innovative NYC dishes and drinks like buckwheat teas, this versatile ingredient is gaining widespread popularity for its climate benefits, high protein, and fibre. Marie Claire highlights that buckwheat is a favorite among celebrities following the sirtfood diet, known for boosting serotonin and suppressing appetite. Adele, for instance, credits her shape to this diet. Vogue praises buckwheat’s health benefits, noting its nutrient density, high protein levels, antioxidants, and low glycemic index. It supports digestive health and is a staple on Gwyneth Paltrow’s goop website and among Slavic models. At Grechka, we're leading this trend with our premium buckwheat products. We proudly offer the only organic buckwheat in the market that has received the Nourish Award and Great Taste Award. Our delicious buckwheat teas are in high demand, with pre-orders streaming in and selling out faster than expected. 📢 This is a big shout-out to retailers: By adding Grechka products to your shelves, you'll meet the rising consumer demand for healthy, gluten-free options. Join us in embracing the buckwheat revolution! #HealthFood #Buckwheat #Buckwheatеa #Buckwheatrevolution #Grechka #Organic #GlutenFree #RetailInnovation #SirtfoodDiet #Superfood #HealthyLiving #femalefounders Jason Gibb Karen Green Nicki Stewart Diverse Fine Food Alexandra Foster Cillian Cook Remina Tiutión (Remi) Planet Organic Ltd Sophie Davies Helen Loughran Tiago Oliveira Louise Allen Maria Trapani Adrian Boswell Tara M.

    **Key Takeaways from an Inspiring Evening with Giles Brook & The HUNGRY Podcast (Dan Pope)** This event was a goldmine of insights for challenger brands. A huge thanks to Dan and Giles for sharing their wisdom - it was great to connect and learn from so many brilliant founders in the room! Delicious dinner was an added bonus 😋. Here are some key lessons that really stood out: 🔹 **Nail one category first** – Focus on dominating one space before expanding into others. 🔹 **Keep it simple** – Speak directly to your core consumer first; only then think about scaling your message. 🔹 **Shopper vs. Consumer data** – They’re not the same! Understanding both is crucial for growth. For those thinking about investment, Giles highlighted what he looks for: ✔ **Founder** – The person behind the brand matters more than the product. ✔ **Strong gross margins** – A great product isn’t enough; financials must stack up. ✔ **Category size & scalability** – Can it travel and work globally? And where’s the industry heading? 🚀 **Protein** – The second wave is hitting the USA. 🦠 **Gut health** – Still a major trend. 🎯 **Personalisation** – “Ask 5 questions, get the perfect product” – the future is tailored. ⚡ **Nootropics & Simplification** – Smarter, more focused nutrition. Do not overcomplicate things - exactly what we stand for at Grechka Buckwheat Super Grain 😉 It was also fantastic to catch up with founders and advisors such as Warwick Smith, Henry Sether, Gaz Booth, Lilijan Sulejmanovic, Jessamy Beeson-Jones, Kieran South, Elin Roberts, Freya Twigden, Lauren O'Donnell - always inspiring to see what’s next in food & drink! Would love to hear what others think - do any of these trends resonate with you? #FoodInnovation #ChallengerBrands #Startups #Entrepreneurship #HUNGRY #podcast #investment

    💡 One day she’s a ninja, the next she is a footballer. And why not? My daughter has decided she can be anything she wants. One day she is a ninja (because her big brother is), the next she is a footballer. And let’s not forget ballet - because clearly, why choose? And honestly? She’s right. That’s exactly the mindset I want her to keep. Because whether in sports, business, or anything else, resilience, passion, and self-belief are what truly matter. When we launched Grechka Buckwheat Super Grain, I learned this firsthand. From our first-ever buckwheat shipment arriving with stones (yes, actual stones!) to Amazon mishandling our products despite countless complaints, it’s been a journey of problem-solving, persistence, and refusing to give up. That’s why I love seeing BUY WOMEN BUILT teaming up with Manchester City Football Club ahead of International Women’s Day - showing young people, especially girls, that there are no limits to what they can achieve. Whether they want to build a business, become a footballer, or do it all - they absolutely can. So here is to the next generation of founders, footballers, ninjas, and ballerinas - because they don’t have to choose! 🙌 #BuyWomenBuilt #ManCity #DreamBig #BWBxCITY #BWBthisIWD

  • The Future of Wellness is Here – And It’s More Thoughtful Than Ever The Global Wellness Summit has unveiled its 10 key wellness trends for 2025, and they paint a fascinating picture of where our collective well-being is headed. From Analog Wellness (a rejection of digital overwhelm) to Augmented Biology (harnessing science to enhance human health) to Sustainable Water Practices—wellness is evolving in new and meaningful ways. At Grechka, we see several of these trends deeply resonating with our philosophy and products: ✨ Analog Wellness – In a world of biohacking and AI-driven health solutions, sometimes the best thing we can do is return to simple, natural rhythms. Cooking a warm, nourishing buckwheat dish is a small act of mindfulness that connects us to tradition and presence. ❤️ Metabolic & Heart Health – With more focus on longevity and energy, nutrient-dense foods are in the spotlight. Buckwheat, packed with fiber, magnesium, and plant-based protein, supports blood sugar balance, cardiovascular health, and sustained vitality—no synthetic interventions required. 🌱 The Supplement Paradox – As people shift from pill-based wellness to whole-food nutrition, we stand behind the power of real, unprocessed ingredients. Buckwheat is a naturally gluten-free, vitamin-rich grain that doesn’t need a label full of additives to prove its benefits. 💧 Watershed Wellness – Sustainable agriculture matters. Unlike water-intensive crops, buckwheat is a climate-smart grain that thrives without excessive irrigation, making it an eco-conscious choice in a future where water conservation is a priority. These are just a few of the ways wellness is shifting—and how we align with this new movement. As trends come and go, one thing remains: true well-being is built on simplicity, quality, and sustainability. #Grechka #WellnessTrends2025 #buckwheatrevolution #SustainableLiving #WholeFoodNutrition #Buckwheat

Nutritionist Jessica Shand has just released her new book, “Hormone Balance Handbook”, packed with practical advice and delicious recipes to help improve hormonal health and overall well-being.
