Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication Belnovosti, a chef and fourth-class baker, shared two secrets of ideal buckwheat.

Rinsing the cereals

Those gourmets who do not wash buckwheat before cooking are mistaken.

The product must be freed from dust and debris.

If you don't do this, the porridge will be less healthy. And also not very appetizing.

Roasting cereals

The washed buckwheat should be placed in a heated dry frying pan.

A short preliminary roasting of the cereal will guarantee the full disclosure of the aroma. Buckwheat will acquire a bright nutty taste that you will surely like.

In addition, the porridge will be crumbly.
