Buckwheat is a versatile side dish that can even be served as a separate dish.

The product is also popular in various diets.

But how to cook buckwheat correctly? Here you need to know certain rules to improve the quality of the dish.

Some housewives claim that it is better to do this in cold water, but more experienced cooks are sure that the krugu should be poured into already boiling water.

This porridge will be crumbly, tender, and it is unlikely to overcook.

After the water boils, cook the side dish on low heat and under a lid. The process should not take more than 25 minutes.

It is also important to remember that the porridge will be truly tasty if the grain does not boil during the cooking process.

But what happens if you use cold water when cooking? In this case, the kernels will become soggy, the consistency will be viscous. You will hardly want to finish such porridge.
