About the Brand
Bob Moore's secret to life may just be "work hard and keep it simple." Living this philosophy, Bob literally puts his nose to the grindstone every day. Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods is an Oregon-based company that utilizes simple, old-world technology to mill hundreds of all-natural whole grain products.
Bob's Red Mill is dedicated to the manufacturing of natural foods in the natural way. In their own words: "With all the sophisticated knowledge of recent times, no machinery has yet been developed that grinds grains into flour quite as well as our flint-hard quartz millstones quarried in France and used by discriminating millers since early Roman times."
"Our well-dressed (sharpened) sets of millstones turn the highest quality wheat into a finer, better baking bread flour than all the hammer mills, steel roller mills, steel buhr mills, or pulverizers ever built! These slow turning millstones grind the bran, endosperm, and germ (containing its nutritious wheat germ oil) into flour in a cool natural way, creating a more assimilable food."
Bob's Red Mill stone grinds all common and most uncommon grains into flours and meals on its over 100-year-old mills. They mix them into an astounding array of unique cereals, pancake and waffle mixes, machine and hand-made bread mixes, quick bread mixes, gluten-free mixes, and specialty grain products.

I was originally hesitant to try these given the mixed reviews. I really love buckwheat and use it in a variety of different ways including as a hot morning cereal, fresh ground for homemade bread and pancakes (nothing beats fresh ground buckwheat flour made into pancakes with 100 wholesome maple syrup) and even in a type of pilaf. After re-reading a few things it appears there are some misconceptions about this product...
1. - This is indeed raw and whole grain groats. If you are searching for roasted/toasted buckwheat you need to keep searching. If you are searching for partially ground, flaked, rolled, etc you also need to keep looking. For those that are familiar with Kasha - this is not roasted nor partially broken...when cooked it will turn into little round balls rather like tapioca.
2. Not mushy...try this a few times to get the cooking correct. I eat this for breakfast with a little honey several times per week and it is excellent. No gluten, lots of nutrition including most essential amino acids, very little fat/calories...it's nearly the perfect food. Bring the water to a boil, put in the groats, reduce the heat and allow to simmer for a few minutes. Keep an eye on it - the buckwheat will "puff" and become soft. After a few attempts you will learn to recognize the preferred consistency that suites you best.
3. Superb nutrition & versatile. Buckwheat should be considered a super-food it's so nutritious without all the other garbage. It's also incredibly versatile - from a hot breakfast cereal (boil and use a touch of honey) to fresh ground for bread (bread makers, use about 1:4 ratio with fresh ground whole wheat...since this has no gluten the wheat will allow it to rise while the buckwheat adds essential nutrients the wheat lacks. For those with a gluten intolerance, buckwheat is a superb alternative and can be used to create bread without any gluten but you will need to use an enhancer to help it rise.

I want to comment on a previous review which asserts that Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain Buckwheat Groats Raw, 16-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) are misadvertised and are not a raw product. I beg to differ please.
These wonderful groats are in fact RAW. I buy them often from Amazon and being a raw foodie, sprout them before consuming. I've never had a problem with these groats not sprouting and they would NOT sprout had they been steamed as the disgruntled reviewer claims. They seem to green up after soaking and will sprout quickly ~ as a matter of fact, just yesterday I made some buckwheat brownies and cookies for Christmas treats and the groats sprouted in 12 hours! (Of course I live in Florida and the warm weather may be a factor). By the way, my treats turned out incredibly delicious and I give credit to the quality of the Bob's buckwheat.
I love this product, especially that it is organic, and trust completely that if Bob's Red Mill says they are organic and raw, well then they are.
I also want to add that when purchased at Amazon, and in particular at Subscribe and Save, they are a real value. They are so much cheaper here than at my local health food store.

This is raw buckwheat. Not the same as European popular roasted version. I noticed review from customer who says he/she is from Ukraine and did not like it. Well, I am from the Ukraine as well - the only difference is I know the difference. City slickers have no option to buy it raw in town because in that form buckwheat is only good for about 24 months vacuum packed at best, yet in roasted form it will be good for decades. Nothing personal - just stating the fact. This particular buckwheat is simple and wholesome natural grain that needs to be flavored with other things like fenugreek seed or spices. I also tried to grow it and it does sprout in about 48 hours. It is superb natural product. It can be cooked in the matter of 15 minutes and then eaten with meat and gravy of choice or with milk and honey as cereal in the morning. This is "going to the basics" type of food. Please notice that people that thrive on aspartame soda and artificial flavored cheese from plastic jar toped with sodium tripolyphosphate supermarket "previously frozen" fish are not likely customers for this product. However, those that look for natural, tasty and nutritious grains should definitely try it. Many ancient civilizations in Europe and Asia survived on this thing for millennia so maybe it is not so bad after all, don't you think?
