Description

What is Buckwheat?

Naturitas Organic Gluten-Free Buckwheat is a gluten-free, fiber-rich seed from organic farming.

Buckwheat or buckwheat, despite being considered a cereal, is actually a seed native to Northeast Asia.

It is rich in fiber having a satiating effect and helping to regulate appetite. It also contains numerous nutrients such as B vitamins, lysine and arginine amino acids and is rich in minerals such as manganese, copper, magnesium and phosphorus, making it ideal for vegetarian or vegan diets.

Vegan, bio, gluten-free, lactose-free product.

How to cook buckwheat?

Buckwheat can be cooked with several techniques:

• Boiled : it begins with a previous washing and a light dry roasting, over high heat and stirring. Then add 2-3 cups of water for every cup of grain. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and cook for about 20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
• Steamed : with this technique it is very loose. The grain can be spread with a little oil so that the thyme or bay leaf mixes with the steam and remains subtly impregnated in the cereal.
• Hydrated : it can be hydrated by leaving it for about 12 hours with water (with a proportion of one measure of water per average of cereal) and then cook it with a little more water (one more proportion) for 10 minutes.

Cooking with Buckwheat

Buckwheat has great versatility in the kitchen:

• Stews : the grain is cooked to prepare traditional stews or polenta.
• Sauces : it can be used as a fat substitute and thickener, since 70% of the grain is starch and its mucilages are ideal for obtaining textured sauces. In these cases, the best are flour or grain.
• Crepes or breads : you can use buckwheat flour or directly the whole grain.

Precautions
