In the vast majority of cases, housewives rinse buckwheat groats and immediately put it into a saucepan for subsequent cooking.

However, some clever cooks do the following: they first fry the buckwheat and only then start cooking it.

Thanks to this trick, the porridge turns out crumbly and incredibly tasty.

But it is important to heat the cereal properly in a frying pan.

How to fry buckwheat correctly

Before frying, buckwheat groats must be rinsed. Then the product must be evenly distributed over the frying pan: by this time, the pan should already be heated.

You can skip the oil. But if you decide to add this product, choose butter over vegetable oil.

While frying, buckwheat should be stirred periodically.

The frying process should be stopped immediately after the cereal has darkened slightly and a pleasant smell has appeared.

The result is buckwheat that is completely ready for cooking.

What kind of porridge will it turn out to be?

Pre-frying helps the buckwheat to release oil.

As a result, the product acquires a special taste that many gourmets like.

In addition, heating in a frying pan removes excess odors and dangerous microorganisms from the product.

And one more thing. Frying ensures that the food will be crumbly.

The dish will be perfect. Even people who hate buckwheat porridge will be delighted with it.
