Buckwheat Basics: Easy Steps for Fluffy Grains

Rinse your buckwheat well in a bowl of water, swishing it around to get rid of any dust or debris. Drain it in a fine-mesh strainer. Toast the rinsed buckwheat in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring until it turns golden brown. This gives it a nutty flavor and helps it hold its shape. Boil water with a pinch of salt, then add the toasted buckwheat. Cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes. No need to stir. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 15 minutes to absorb any leftover water. Fluff with a fork and stir in a little butter or oil. Eat it plain, toss it in salads, or stir fry with veggies. Super versatile and packed with nutrients! #buckwheat #healthyrecipes #wholegrains #Food #Cooking
