I guess everyone's body is different. I did learn yesterday that it's not a good idea to have it for lunch. It's high in Tryptophan so tends to make you sleepy. At least it did me. It passed after an hour or so though. :-) That’s really interesting River. I guess everyone’s body is different. I did learn yesterday that it’s not a good idea to have it for lunch.

I tried it by adding some to my porridge for a few days, a bit less than a week if I remember right, I didn't feel at all well at the end of the week, so stopped eating it. Clearly my body prefers plain porridge with just the usual additives, oat bran, a high-fibre mix and a teaspoonful of malt extract stirred in just before eating. One of my regular customers buys it every week and adds it to her rice porridge. She's 72 and very healthy. I’ve heard of Quinoa, it’s available in flakes too like oats but finer.
