How to cook buckwheat groats
Report
Buckwheat is naturally gluten free, full of nutrients and keeps popping up in fashionable diets all over the place. But what exactly is it? How do you cook it? And does it actually taste nice?

Ingredients
- 160 g buckwheat groats
Instructions
- Place the buckwheat groats in a medium to large saucepan (with enough room for the buckwheat and lots of water). Pour over plenty of boiling water from the kettle.
- Bring to the boil over a high heat, then turn down the heat to medium-low and cook for 10-15 minutes, depending on your personal preferences. I recommend testing after 10 minutes and if it's not quite cooked enough for your tastes, cook it a little longer.
- Drain the buckwheat in a sieve and serve.
Notes
- Many recipes suggest rinsing the buckwheat, either before or after cooking. However, from extensive testing I have discovered this is not necessary so long as you cook the buckwheat in lots of freshly boiled water.
- Suitable for freezing.
