Organic buckwheat kernels are usually considered whole grains, but they are seeds. As pseudo-grains, they are much easier to digest and are healthier than grains. Organic buckwheat is available in many forms. The one known as organic kasha is hulled and roasted buckwheat kernels. This type of pseudo-grain is nutritious and extremely tasty, as roasting enhances its rich natural flavor. The taste of organic buckwheat is creamy, a little nutty, and has the slightest undercurrent of smoke. As it’s much more flavorful than many whole grains, you can use it as a substitute in recipes.

Who Should Add Buckwheat Kernels to Their Diet

Organic buckwheat kernels are such exceptional food that everyone will benefit from it. This pseudo-grain is perfect for any diet. Even the highly demanding Paleo list allows for buckwheat groats in moderation. An allergy to buckwheat is exceedingly rare, and this ‘grain’ is very easy to digest. Organic sprouted buckwheat is particularly natural for your body to process when cooked—Thats why people that require strictly regulated diets for various health reasons usually allowed to eat organic buckwheat.

How to Cook Organic Buckwheat Kasha

One of the great things about organic buckwheat kernels is that you don’t have to pre-soak them before cooking. However, don’t forget to rinse buckwheat groats before cooking to remove any dust and debris. Cooking Instructions:

  1. Use two parts of water or broth per 1 part organic buckwheat kernels.
  2. Toast groats in a large saucepan with a bit of olive oil for 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add water and bring to a boil.
  4. Cook for about 10-15 minutes at a simmer until all water is absorbed.

As an alternative, you can bring water or broth to a boil separately and pour it into the saucepan with toasted organic buckwheat groats. Then, cook at a simmer for about 5-10 minutes before removing from heat. Leave the pan covered for about 15 more minutes. Season cooked groats with salt, pepper, and any spices you love. They will taste amazing with any vegetable. You can add sautéed onions at the beginning of the cooking process to enhance the taste of your organic kasha.

Why Should You Buy Organic Buckwheat Bulk

You definitely should buy organic buckwheat kasha in bulk if you want to enjoy this pseudo-grain regularly. Buckwheat kernels keep exceptionally well if you store them in an airtight container someplace cool. Bear in mind that you don’t have to refrigerate organic kasha. However, this would increase its shelf life by a few months. Please note that you should store them separately due to a slightly strong natural smell of organic buckwheat kernels.

Cooking Instructions

  • Rinse & drain organic buckwheat.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine
  • 1 cup organic buckwheat kasha, 1 3/4 cups water, 1 Tbsp butter, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  • Bring to a simmer and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Simmer on low for 18-20 minutes.

Recipes

Ingredients for Buckwheat Kasha with Caramelized Mushrooms:

  • 1 cup organic buckwheat kasha
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, diced
  • Fresh celery, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse buckwheat kasha 2 or 3 times in water; drain well.
  2. Bring 2 cups of broth to a boil in a pot.
  3. Add boiling broth to the buckwheat kasha. It’s important to add boiling broth. If started in cold broth, the buckwheat will be mushy.
  4. Add a generous pinch of salt. Turn the heat to low, place a lid on the pot, and cook for 15 minutes.
  5. After 15 minutes, remove from heat. Cover with lid and allow to steam for an additional 5 minutes off the heat.
  6. Heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.  Add onions and mushrooms. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring constantly until fragrant and mushrooms are browned and caramelized. Take the time to well caramelize the onions and mushrooms.
  7. Add the garlic and continue cooking until the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
  8. Add buckwheat.  Heat through. Add fresh celery (or dill/parsley) and toss. Great as a side or main dish. Leftovers freeze well.
Product Reviews
Reviews on
I am very happy to have found this brand. I have been buying buckwheat for more than 10 years now, as I am allergic to grains. Buckwheat is from a different family, so I am able to eat it. I am very happy to have found this brand. The quality of the grain is excellent and the price is very affordable. I use the buckwheat whole or grind it to use as flour. I tried this company as my regular one was out of stock. Some brands I've tried have not been high quality, so I was a little worried. I am very pleased and will be buying again. Thank you.
These Buckwheat groats are ease to prepare, have less calories than rice, and taste great. We add onions and brown them in a skillet like hashbrowns sometimes. They are great with eggs or as a side. Highly recommend groats.
Great quality at competitive price. Buckwheat isn’t very common and not easy to find at any grocery store. This one was priced a little under the Whole Foods retail price. The quality is also great. Are used to order but we’d imported from Russia and it was pretty dirty. It took several rounds of rinsing to get it clean. This one is very clean I only rinse it one before cooking. Highly recommended.

Will buy again. So I just started using Buckwheat due to its health benefits and ordered this because its organic and a was a great cost. The Buckwheat came in a thick resealable ziplock bag - that is a win for me. As far as the taste of this particular product, I can't give a comparison response because its the only Buckwheat I've ever cooked with or eaten. I will purchase this item again when I've gotten through this bag.
Excellent quality, very clean, tastes great. Will buy again. Save your time, stop searching, buy this one. This one is just perfect. This is the best buckwheat I even had.
