This review is from: Arrowhead Mills Organic Buckwheat Groats, 24-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4) (Grocery)

I am originally from Belarus and I used to cook tons of buckwheat in my live.
That buckwheat is something different from my idea of regular buckwheat. The grains are smaller, lighter in color, not toasted enough and when done it has bland scent not the full body aroma I remember. It cooks 2 times faster than original one-about 12 min., rather than 25min. and you need extra care if you want it flaky rather than sticky.
Here is some advices if you want have it close to my idea of original buckwheat:
1. Toast it in the pan or skillet with some butter over the medium heat for 2-3 min.(better to use a shallow pan than a deep one)
2. Add salt, boiling water (2.2-2.5 parts of water to 1 part of gloats)
3. Lower the heat to just simmering and top tightly with the lid and cook until all water get soaked(do not stir-it breaks the grains)
4. Put it aside for extra 5 min.

If you have never tried this product with an interesting name...do so. I had it on a recent trip to Moscow, Russia and immediately searched for it once I returned to the USA. It is a very tasy and versatile food. I have it for breakfast, cold with spices, chopped veggies and mayo as a salad and reheated with veggies and pasta for a quick snack or light meal.

A lot of foods make me tired or make me feel 'off' after I eat them. This is the exception--I feel good after eating buckwheat groats both right after and hours later, so I suspect it's good for me. :) It tastes mildly nutty. I eat it with bananas and other fruit mixed in. If you're looking for a healthy new cereal to try, give this one a shot.
