How to use

Raw buckweat groats may be added to salads, chili or mixing it with porridge/ oatmeal. It can also be made into flour and used for different baked goods.

How to cook:

1. You can cook buckwheat groats un-soaked and toasted or un-toasted depending on your taste preference, but the best way is to pre-soak overnight or for at least 6 hours to make it more digestible and nutrients more available. Groats to water ratio should be 1 cup groats : 3-4 cups of water.
2. Drain and rinse.
3. Add about 1/4 – 1/2 cup vegetable stock (or water) to a large pan or a medium pot.
4. Once vegetable stock or water starts to boil, add buckwheat and cook for about 3-5 minutes stirring a couple times until tender. For non-pre-soaked groats, it takes 12-15 mins to cook.
