Buckwheat: the amazing vegan non-grain, non-wheat complete proteinMost people think buckwheat is a grain because of the way it cooks and is related to wheat because of its name. Well, it s neither. It s actually a pseudocereal, to which Quinoa, Amaranth, and Wild Rice also fall into, which are seeds that cook like grains. Why explain this? Because of nutrition. First off, because it s not a type of wheatgrass, it s gluten-free. Secondly, it s one of few vegan sources that is a complete protein, or containing all 9 essential amino acids that your body can't otherwise produce on its own. It is also a great source for dietary fiber, which your gut microbiome will thank you for consuming. Finally, it is packed with lots of vitamins and minerals.In terms of consumption, buckwheat has a hearty, nutty texture. My favorite use is in porridge (think oatmeal but with buckwheat), cooked on high pressure for 6 mins in my Instant Pot pressure cooker with 1.75C full-fat coconut cream and 1/2t salt. Adding in raisins, pecans, and some cinnamon makes a really delicious, naturally sweetened, and very filling breakfast. It makes a nice filler for recipes as well, especially if you are following a Whole-Food Plant-Based (WFPB) diet, since it is a complete protein. It works well in savory dishes like curries, a vegan shepherd's pie, or any kind of casserole dish too.P.S. This is my honest review about buckwheat because I like it so much. I am not affiliated with nor have received this product for free.5Great quality at competitive priceGreat quality at competitive price. Buckwheat isn t very common and not easy to find at any grocery store. This one was priced a little under the Whole Foods retail price. The quality is also great. Are used to order but we d imported from Russia and it was pretty dirty. It took several rounds of rinsing to get it clean. This one is very clean I only rinse it one before cooking.Highly recommended.5and taste great. We add onions and brown them in a ...These Buckwheat groats are ease to prepare, have less calories than rice, and taste great. We add onions and brown them in a skillet like hashbrowns sometimes. They are great with eggs or as a side. Highly recommend groats.5Great Groats!I really think this company is a quality company and that they stand behind their product.... I really like the taste and quality.I use the Buckwheat Groats for ourselves and I also use them for my homemade dog food. I added in as a great source of amino acids for my dog and they're yummy too!I'm going to try the Buckwheat Groats waffles next. Great value too!5I am very happy to have found this brandI have been buying buckwheat for more than 10 years now, as I am allergic to grains. Buckwheat is from a different family, so I am able to eat it. I am very happy to have found this brand. The quality of the grain is excellent and the price is very affordable. I use the buckwheat whole or grind it to use as flour. I tried this company as my regular one was out of stock. Some brands I've tried have not been high quality, so I was a little worried. I am very pleased and will be buying again. Thank you.5Delicious, nutritious, and in my budget. Good find.I love this stuff. It's the first buckwheat I tried and I'm neurotic about spending money based on hearsay, but the reviews were good enough to get me to buy some and I havent regreted it.I thought I had screwed up because I first tried it straight boiled in unsalted water, which I don't recommend, but Ive come to find that it's rediculously versitile. So far my favorite way to prepare it is toasting under a broiler, stirred by a long metal spatula.I think it's called Kasha at that point and I'm perfectly happy muching on it just like that. If it's well toasted it has the interesting effect of heating up palpably if you chew it correctly and giving the sensation of a warm meal so it's a favored snack of mine.For general consumtion nowadays I just use my old hand crank processor to grind the toasted buckwheat into a rough meal, which can be used just like oat meal with the caveats that it takes a little longer to thicken, it smells and tastes better (if you dig earthy flavors like me), and it has a much more complete and balanced nutrient profile.5Will buy againSo I just started using Buckwheat due to its health benefits and ordered this because its organic and a was a great cost. The Buckwheat came in a thick resealable ziplock bag - that is a win for me. As far as the taste of this particular product, I can't give a comparison response because its the only Buckwheat I've ever cooked with or eaten. I will purchase this item again when I've gotten through this bag.5Tasty and easy to make!This is a tasty alternative to whole grain rice. It cooks the same way in the rice cooker. Depending on what unit you have, you need to figure out the water ratio. It will vary from one model to another. Go lightly... you can always extend the steaming time if the grain is not tender enough. Once overdone, there is nothing you can do! It tastes very hearty and nutty. We love it. We eat it with veggies, also steamed and a home made dressing. YummyUPDATE: November 13, 2018Forget the rice cooker! My learning curve with Kasha is excellent. Now, I only place the amount I want into a bowl, add 3 times more water by volume and just let it sit overnight to soak. The next morning, it is all puffed up and fluffy, ready to eat. I love it that way! No mess, no cooking, which preserves its full flavor!At this time, I either eat it with steamed fresh vegetables, or in a smoothie. I love the smoothie!You can develop your own recipe, put into it what you like: seeds, nuts, fruit, honey, even a raw egg mixed in, and you have a wholesome and complete meal in no time!Five stars from me!If you liked my review, thanks for letting me know!!5This buckwheat produces horrific smell after it cookedI buy buckwheat all the time. I used this company's buckwheat before and everything was fine. There is something wrong with this buckwheat. I cooked it with just salt and water, but when it was cooked it produced horrific smell, something between chemical smell and moldy one. Everything went directly to garbage. Amazon refunded my money.1Great qualityI have been sprouting and eating raw buckwheat groats for about 20 years. So I know a thing or two about them!These are high quality, everything a buckwheat groat should be. Raw cacao pudding with banana slices and berrieson top, anyone?5
