Buckwheat is a gluten-free grain. This pseudo-grain does not have any wheat, though it’s name says wheat, so that means it’s a gluten-free whole grain option!
Today, we’ll learn how to cook buckwheat! To be honest, I didn’t get it right the first or second time, so I’m sharing my findings to inspire you to make mistakes in the kitchen. Failing is all part of the learning process! By the end of the afternoon, I discovered three cooking methods.
Kitchen Tools (same for all 3 methods):
Pot with tight fitting lid; fork; spatula, dry and liquid measuring cup; bowl; fine-meshed strainer (optional)
Note: I rinsed the buckwheat with a bowl and strainer for all three methods. Do not soak them otherwise they will overcook.
Buckwheat Recipe Method 1:
Great for warm breakfast bowls, sweet and savory
Buckwheat to Liquid Ratio is 1:2
Yield: 2 cups cooked, 4 servings
Serving Size: 1/2 cup cooked
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dry buckwheat
1 cup water
Instructions:
1. Add water and rinsed buckwheat to pot
2. Turn temp to high heat and bring mixture to a boil uncovered (5 minutes)
3. Once it’s boiling, turn temp to medium-low and cover, simmer for 15 minutes
4. Allow to sit (covered) for 5 minutes
5. Serve
Buckwheat Recipe Method 2:
Great for stuffed vegetables and patties
Buckwheat to Liquid Ratio is 1:1.5
Yield: 1.75 cups cooked, 3.5 servings
Serving Size: 1/2 cup cooked

1. Add water and rinsed buckwheat to pot

3. Once it’s boiling, turn temp to medium-low and cover, simmer for 8 minutes
4. Allow to sit (covered) for 5 minutes
5. Serve
Buckwheat Recipe Method 3:
Great for rice pilafs, grain bowls and as a topping for salads
Buckwheat to Liquid Ratio is 1:1
Yield: 1.25 cups cooked, 2.5 servings
Serving Size: 1/2 cup cooked
Instructions:
1. Add water and rinsed buckwheat to pot
2. Turn temp to high heat and bring mixture to a boil uncovered (2-3 minutes)
3. Once it’s boiling, turn temp to medium-low and cover, simmer for 5 minutes
4. Allow to sit (covered) for 5 minutes

How do you want to use buckwheat in your dishes?

@jenniferlucienne8679 2 месяца назад

This video had nothing to with health or with cooking! Where are the "3 ways"?? How long the buckwheat cooks is the least important thought about it. Why not share how buckwheat is delicious and high in nutrition? It can be used in so many sweet or savory dishes!

Thank you Kala!! Excellent video.

Hi Joyce, really nice try with raw buckwheat, but I think it is still very sticky - this is because in some countries they don't now about this seeds, in our country in Russia we eat a lot of buckwheat - but 95 % is roasted buckwheat (it has brown color and it is quite hard compared to the raw one) , and from my experience i suggest you try the roasted buckwheat - it is really different and comes out quite friable as you want it to be, hope you like it...😉you can use spices also and prepare it as rice - equally

Thank you for watching and commenting Gleb! I am learning that Russia knows their Buckwheat better than we do here in America. I tried for the first time the roasted buckwheat and they are so beautiful, cook better and tastes more delicious than raw. I am collaborating with a brand Koktem. Check out my affiliate link: tr.ee/smU8v7ixex also, I’m going to share my other video with you, me rating the product.

@@kalahealthandwellness the best thing about roasted buckwheat is that you don't even need to cook it - just soak in water overnight and it will be as good as cooked, dry and no clumping but each kernel will soften up as if cooked. Can just warm it up a bit to make a bit more tasty. Growing up in Russia, we ate it with fried onion and grated carrot - fist you fry the veggies in a little bit of unrefined sunflower oil (we only had sunflower oil available so were cooking everything with it) and then add the buckwheat and mix. Sometimes could add forest mushrooms like chanterelles. Another very common recipe was hot buckwheat with cold milk and a pinch of salt, it is the most interesting palate experience! Since going vegan, I use coconut milk instead of regular milk but it has to be cold, just from refrigerator to make the taste. It was also often eaten with sunflower oil and sugar for breakfast. Good luck trying new recipes!

The method #3 is exactly what I was looking for! Minimum cooking time to preserve the maximum amount of nutrients and green buckwheat turned out Al Dente as I wanted! And when warmed up again it wont become mushy. Thanks a lot for sharing!

@kalahealthandwellness Год назад

Hey ViviTors! That's great, glad you found a way to get the texture you want for buckwheat. It's such a great grain. Thanks so much for letting me know. Have a lovely Monday wherever you are 💛

@el_millonario Год назад

Buckwheat should be roasted. The picture you’re showing during the introduction shows brown buckwheat. That’s roasted. You can do it yourself in a skillet without oil or buy Russian buckwheat which already comes roasted. After roasting it won’t get that mushy and much more flavorful! I use a buckwheat to water ratio of 1:1.5. Use it for a stir fry after cooking, which will reduce the moisture, and you won’t eat any other grains anymore ;)

@kalahealthandwellness Год назад

Thanks for watching & your feedback. You are exactly right! Now that I have been introduced to a new product, Koktem’s buckwheat, I know how much better roasted buckwheat is in terms of flavor & texture! Sounds like you have a lot of experience with this type of buckwheat. If you’re interested in trying a new brand of roasted buckwheat, try Koktem. I’m a happy customer and affiliate!

I have used the pasta method to cook buckwheat. Thus, I used the buckwheat to water ratio of 1:6 or 1:10 and cooked it for 10 - 15 minutes. The 10 - 15 minutes was on the packaging for Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain Buckwheat. When the time was up, I would check for al-dente and drain off the excess water.

@kalahealthandwellness 8 месяцев назад

Hello again Conrad! Thank you for watching and commenting on this video as well. That's a theme for most whole grains, pasta method. Yes, checking for doneness to your liking is key to having a satisfying cooked whole grain. Have a great day!

@GlazunMr Год назад

To avoid it to be mushy, it needs to be soaked in a water for a night. You will see slime, rinse it and cook👍

@kalahealthandwellness Год назад

Thanks Yuri! I just made some yesterday. I’ll try your method next. After you soak and drain. What’s next?

In Nepal has also history of buckwheat

@kalahealthandwellness Год назад

Thanks for watching and sharing. What would be a popular Nepalese dish made with buckwheat?

@evgeniakotsifos7878 6 месяцев назад

It’s a seed not a grain

@kalahealthandwellness 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! You are right, it is both. It's classified as a pseudograin. wholegrainscouncil.org/whole-grains-101/grain-month-calendar/buckwheat-december-grain-month
