organic hulled buckwheat

Highly nutritious seed ideal for those sensitive to wheat. High in protein and essential amino acids. Buckwheat is gluten-free, has a nutty flavour and can be cooked and served in a similar way to rice. Buckwheat can also be sprouted and activated. For rice replacement, add 1 cup hulled buckwheat to a bowl and cover with a couple of inches of cold water. Then soak overnight or for at least 6 hours. Once soaked drain and rinse. Add 1/2 cup water or stock to a medium pot and once boiling add your pre-soaked buckwheat and stir frequently for about 3-5 minutes. Done! You can also cook buckwheat unsoaked, however, it will take a lot longer. You can also cook your soaked buckwheat in milk instead of water to make a high protein morning porridge. Store raw hulled buckwheat in an airtight container in a cool and dry place.
