What Is a Buddha Bowl, Anyway? Is it the latest health-food craze?

Buddha bowls, sometimes referred to as glory or hippie bowls, are hearty, filling dishes made of various greens, raw or roasted veggies, beans and a healthy grain like quinoa or brown rice. Sometimes they also include toppings like nuts, seeds and dressings for added texture and flavor.

Buddha bowls aren't really about Buddha. But they are delicious—especially this one, which is packed full of healthy organic ingredients and topped with an tahini dressing. You get your choice of 3 dressings with your Byron Buddha bowl!

The History in a nutshell!

"Buddha woke up before dawn every morning and carried his bowl through the roads or paths wherever he was staying. Local people would place food in the bowl as a donation, and at the end he would eat whatever he had been given," explains Zigmond. "So that was the original Buddha Bowl: a big bowl of whatever food villagers had available and could afford to share. It was probably pretty healthy, since Buddha lived before the age of cheap processed food, but it was also probably pretty simple, maybe rice and a simple curry."
