Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming buckwheat.
- Buckwheat is available in many forms, including flour, groats, and berries. The best way to get it is from a bulk bin and store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Store buckwheat in an airtight container for up to 6 months at room temperature. If you want to keep it longer than that, store it in the freezer.
- Cook groats like you would cook rice: boil some water, add salt and butter or olive oil, then add the buckwheat and cook until tender (about 15 minutes).
- Buckwheat noodles are an awesome option for stir-fries.
- Try eating the groats as porridge with honey and cinnamon or as a pilaf with mushrooms and parsley!
