Why Some Housewives Soak Buckwheat Before Cooking: You'll Be Surprised
It is difficult to find a more “native” side dish than buckwheat porridge: many people love it from an early age, as their parents teach them to eat the dish.
However, not everyone knows that even such a simple dish has tricks and nuances regarding the cooking method.
Some experts prefer to fry the product before cooking, recalls Yulia Arkhipova, a chef and culinary expert for the BelNovosti online publication. It is believed that this helps buckwheat retain its shape and reveal its taste to the fullest.
Others simply pour water over the product before cooking.
However, only a few people have heard that cereals need to be soaked.
What is the essence of this trick?
It is believed that after sorting and initial treatment with water, buckwheat should be soaked in a sufficient amount of liquid.
Also add a spoonful of lemon juice to the container. It can be replaced with the same amount of apple cider vinegar. After that, wait two hours, drain the water and rinse the cereal again.
It is believed that the taste of buckwheat porridge will be incredibly pleasant.
There is also an opinion that such a thorough approach will make buckwheat even more useful.
