Surely many have heard the recommendation that buckwheat should be fried before cooking.
Some now follow this recommendation on a regular basis.
Other housewives treat it with skepticism and consider it a waste of time, from which there is no practical benefit.
Chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti, decided to look into the situation with this pressing issue.
Is it necessary to fry buckwheat before cooking?
The choice, of course, will always remain with the hostess, but experienced cooks recommend spending time on this process. This method of cooking buckwheat makes the side dish much tastier.
Roasted buckwheat has a special aroma and flavor. Its texture also improves noticeably.
The procedure must be carried out correctly. First, you will need to wash the cereal and dry it to remove excess moisture. Then take a frying pan and heat it up.
There is no need to add any oil.
Put a layer of buckwheat (even) and fry for a few minutes. It is important to constantly stir the cereal at this point.
