Hello to everyone
I've bought a packet of whole buckwheat
Could someone please suggest how to cook it and some recipes with the whole
grain ?
I tried to boil in hot water but it ended up bland, raw and too chrunchy
What did I do wrong ?

Thanks in advance

Nicholas

First buckwheat has to be roasted or its really bad. I buy it roasted
already cause its a pain to roast yourself. You can roast it in the oven
on a baking pan but you have to stir it pretty much constantly or it
burns. If its sort of greenish its probably not roasted, if its brownish
then it probably is roasted.

For a single serving I use 3 oz. of water and 1/3 c. of buckwheat. Boil
the water, add the buckwheat, cover and reduce to simmer and cook for 10
minutes. Remove from heat and let sit (covered; dont peek) for 5 minutes.

I usually eat it for breakfast with some kind of berries or fruit.

Good luck
