These buckwheat groats are a great alternative to barley, rice or wheat. Despite the name, buckwheat is not a form of wheat, and does not naturally contain gluten. They are very easy to cook and make an excellent base for a meal.
Directions
Buckwheat cooks just like rice:
- Add one cup of buckwheat groats per person to a large saucepan of boiling water.
- Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Drain and serve.
- Use as an alternative to rice, pasta or barley. Serve as an accompaniment to meats and casseroles, in salads, soups and stews.
You can roast this buckwheat by heating on a hot pan for about 5 minutes until they are browned. We also sell ready-roasted buckwheat groats called
Kasha, if this is more convenient. Roasting enhances the flavour of the buckwheat. Once roasted, cook as above but reduce the cooking time by 5 minutes.
These buckwheat groats are also suitable for sprouting.
