When the Russian people celebrate army day, they gather is a large place where they partake of traditional military food. That would be buckwheat kasha.
During the Great Patriotic War (WW2) two armies fought and marched in bitter cold.
The German army fought with meals often consisting of two things: beans and sugar. The Russian army on Buckwheat kasha.
Buckwheat kasha is a complete protein. Beans are not, and sugar is useless.
Over time the Germans suffered nutritional deficiencies which hampered their war effort.
The Russians had the advantage nutrition wise.
Buckwheat is my go to food.
A word on preparation. Pre soak for 24 hours in the fridge. On top of being a superfood, one can turn the starch into RS3 type starch. Put a lot of water to soak. Way more than for beans. Then cook to boiling. Simmer only just a bit. Then cool and refrigerate. This turns it into super duper food.
This is not traditional Russian style. This is guided by my research into the chemistry of RS3 formation.
