In my family, buckwheat has always been on a special account. First of all, this porridge is very tasty in itself. And if you add a couple of other ingredients to it, it turns into a masterpiece of a simple kitchen. Secondly, buckwheat is prepared very quickly and simply. Even a first-grader knows how to cook buckwheat on water, not to mention experienced housewives.

In addition, buckwheat is good because it can be prepared without electricity. To do this, it is enough to pour the cereal with clean water before bedtime. During the night, it will absorb liquid, swell and become suitable for consumption. If you cook green buckwheat in this way, in the morning it should be thoroughly washed under running water, since it forms a large amount of mucus.



If you do not have time and need to eat urgently, then ordinary buckwheat can be poured with steep boiling water for 20-30 minutes. That time should be enough. In the latter case, it is best to wrap a pot or plate with buckwheat in a warm towel or plaid.

I also love buckwheat for its benefits. It contains protein, iron, copper, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and calcium, as well as vitamins of group B. Thanks to this cereal, your body is cleansed of harmful substances, and you get high-quality saturation for several hours.

How to increase the amount of buckwheat There are a huge number of recipes with buckwheat. Someone likes to make cereal crumbly, someone likes a moist texture of porridge, and someone even eats it with milk. There are also ways to increase the amount of buckwheat.



If you use these life hacks, you can not only increase the volume of cooked porridge, but also improve its taste. The easiest way to pour buckwheat with boiling water in a ratio of 1: 1. Then cover the pan with a lid and leave it there overnight. In the morning, it will be enough to put this pan on the fire and bring the porridge to a boil.

If during the night the cereal absorbed too much water, just share it so that the buckwheat boils. Next, add a little butter to taste in the pan and wrap the dishes in a towel. This buckwheat is much more delicious than usual.



You can cook a lot of delicious buckwheat in another way. First it should be washed with warm water, then cold. Next, you need to pour water into the pan and boil it. And then add the cereal to the boiling water. At the same time, pour into porridge on a pinch of salt and soda. Cook porridge under the lid on a small fire until all the liquid evaporates. Usually 30 minutes is enough.

Other nuances of cooking buckwheat porridge Take on note a couple more culinary life hacks. Buckwheat is best cooked in pots with a thick bottom. This affects the taste of porridge and the quality of its preparation. We advise not to interfere with porridge during cooking, if you want to get a beautiful crumbly dish.



Checking whether the buckwheat is ready is very easy. Slightly tilt the pan to see if there is still water in the cereal. If it's not there, you can take the buckwheat off the fire. There may be little water, and at this stage it is important not to let the cereal burn.



You can either reduce the fire to a minimum and give the porridge a couple more minutes to cook, or remove it from the fire in advance and keep it under the closed lid for another 10 minutes. For better effect, wrap the pan in a towel. Done!
