Experienced housewives always add a little soda when cooking buckwheat.
We'll tell you why you should take note of this life hack.
Why do they add soda to buckwheat?
Firstly, adding soda helps neutralize the characteristic smell of buckwheat.
Secondly, with the help of soda you can make buckwheat crumbly and airy.
You should also add soda if the buckwheat was not sorted and washed very thoroughly.

The soda will push the remaining debris in the buckwheat to the surface, and it can be collected with a spoon.
You don’t need to add a lot of soda, half a teaspoon is enough.
Add soda at the very end of cooking. Then reduce the heat and cook the buckwheat until the water has completely evaporated.
Another way to make buckwheat crumbly is to pre-roast it.
Buckwheat is fried in a dry frying pan without oil for three to four minutes.
Also, to get crumbly buckwheat, it is important not to stir it during cooking.
