Buckwheat is firmly associated with a simple, but tasty and filling product that will always come to the rescue.
However, sometimes the porridge can have a distinct bitter taste.
No one would want to eat such a dish. However, it is worth understanding that the reason lies in our mistakes, reminds chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of culinary issues.
What defects can cause cereals to taste bitter?
Insufficient pre-treatment
It is not without reason that it is always recommended to sort buckwheat thoroughly: this eliminates all unnecessary “components” that spoil the taste.
It is also extremely important not to forget that buckwheat needs to be rinsed with water.
If you forget about these two initial stages of processing, the porridge may taste bitter.
Cooking and proportions
Do not pour in water without precise measurement: it is better to simply pour in buckwheat and pour in water correctly. Take two glasses of product per glass of cereal.
This will help to avoid unexpected results during the cooking process.
Also, don’t cook the porridge for too long: the cereal is fully cooked in just 20 minutes.
