How to Cook Organic Buckwheat Kasha

One of the great things about organic buckwheat kernels is that you don’t have to pre-soak them before cooking. However, don’t forget to rinse buckwheat groats before cooking to remove any dust and debris. Cooking Instructions:

  1. Use two parts of water or broth per 1 part organic buckwheat kernels.
  2. Toast groats in a large saucepan with a bit of olive oil for 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add water and bring to a boil.
  4. Cook for about 10-15 minutes at a simmer until all water is absorbed.

As an alternative, you can bring water or broth to a boil separately and pour it into the saucepan with toasted organic buckwheat groats. Then, cook at a simmer for about 5-10 minutes before removing from heat. Leave the pan covered for about 15 more minutes. Season cooked groats with salt, pepper, and any spices you love. They will taste amazing with any vegetable. You can add sautéed onions at the beginning of the cooking process to enhance the taste of your organic kasha.

Why Should You Buy Organic Buckwheat Bulk

Buckwheat kernels keep exceptionally well if you store them in an airtight container someplace cool. Bear in mind that you don’t have to refrigerate organic kasha. However, this would increase its shelf life by a few months. Please note that you should store them separately due to a slightly strong natural smell of organic buckwheat kernels.

  • In a medium saucepan, combine
  • 1 cup organic buckwheat kasha, 1 3/4 cups water, 1 Tbsp butter, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  • Bring to a simmer and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
