The thing is that this porridge is tasty, nutritious and very filling.
That's why housewives love to cook buckwheat.
But at the same time, newcomers to cooking may have questions, for example, why it is impossible to cook cereals in cold water.
If you do this, the buckwheat kernels will become soggy and the porridge will be sticky.
How to cook buckwheat correctly
First, the grain should be rinsed several times in cold water. Then it would be a good idea to sort out the grains to remove any unpeeled ones.
It is better to cook porridge in a saucepan with a thick bottom. As soon as the water boils, you can add buckwheat.
It is necessary to take into account the proportions of buckwheat and water - 1:2.
Salt and spices are added at the very beginning.

Once the buckwheat is ready, you can season it with a piece of butter to make the dish more aromatic, tasty and tender.
