Buckwheat can come to the rescue in any situation, becoming either a wonderful side dish or even a stand-alone dish.

However, it is important not to make mistakes when working with cereals.

What mistakes do we often forget about?

Incorrect preparation

There is one way to prepare cereals that many people don't know about. First, you need to rinse the product in warm water. Then we put the cereal in a saucepan, pour in water and start cooking.
