I bought these buckwheat groats because I wanted to start eating healthier. (for me and my family) the first thing I made was some granola. My very picky 11 year old son ate it and liked it, although he complained that I'd burnt it lol. Last night I milled the groats into flour and this morning I made buckwheat pancakes. I'd never had them before and was worried our son wouldn't eat them but he said "They're okay." and ate the pancake down without complaint. (the pancakes were delicious, I highly recommend making them)
Great product with fast delivery.

This is wonderful - my favorite brand of buckwheat groats for taste, consistency and quality. Wish more groceries carried this. Buckwheat is one of the most highly nutritious grains, is very easy and quick to cook, has a mild taste of its own, and can be used like rice in cooking meals. (I don't need gluten-free, but I included the above note because so many people are sensitive to gluten and need to find gluten-free alternative grains.) Buckwheat in whole grain form is called "groats"; in cracked/broken form is "kasha". These groats take no longer (or less long) to cook than brown rice. Boil 2 cups of water for each 1 cup of buckwheat groats (it's a 2:1 ratio, like white rice is); put in the groats and stir a little, then lower heat to low and cover until done. The grains should cook up distinct but soft, like a plump round rice would. For a little extra taste, you can toast the grains before cooking, by putting into a dry skillet over low heat, and stirring until a little roasty fragrance arises - the grains will get a little browner, but don't let them burn. This is a quick step, but if you are really in a tired hurry, buckwheat groats taste fine without the...

I love Bob's Red Mill organic whole grain Buckwheat Groats but this morning I found a small rock in my cooked buckwheat groats, it was tiny like a groat. This is worrisome as I could have cracked a tooth, so when you chew this, chew carefully. It was package number 3997800580. I've never had this happen before and I've ordered this through Amazon a few times.

I was originally hesitant to try these given the mixed reviews. I really love buckwheat and use it in a variety of different ways including as a hot morning cereal, fresh ground for homemade bread and pancakes (nothing beats fresh ground buckwheat flour made into pancakes with 100 wholesome maple syrup) and even in a type of pilaf. After re-reading a few things it appears there are some misconceptions about this product...
1. - This is indeed raw and whole grain groats. If you are searching for roasted/toasted buckwheat you need to keep searching. If you are searching for partially ground, flaked, rolled, etc you also need to keep looking. For those that are familiar with Kasha - this is not roasted nor partially broken...when cooked it will turn into little round balls rather like tapioca.
2. Not mushy...try this a few times to get the cooking correct. I eat this for breakfast with a little honey several times per week and it is excellent. No gluten, lots of nutrition including most essential amino acids, very little fat/calories...it's nearly the perfect food. Bring the water to a boil, put in the groats, reduce the heat and allow to simmer for...

buckwheat groats are, actually, not a wheat and are, in fact, a plant flower “seed” aka "groat" (see pic below) ... this seed is very high in both protein and fiber, which supports heart health and helps prevent diabetes and digestive disorders. and, these seeds (groats) are jam packed with nutrients and antioxidants and are considered a “superfood”.

• taste great! ...they are soft and nutty, with a lot of flavor
• cook fast ... though most cook for 10 - 15 minutes, we cook them for just 5 minutes to optimize their nutritional value, add cinnamon, pink salt, a tsp of coconut oil, and blueberries... and they are absolutely healthy and delicious! at 5 min., they are not super soft, rather firm with a soft crunch... a bit like al dente pasta, in terms of firmness and that soft crunch...or, like grapenuts after they have soaked in milk for a couple minutes... and, they are just delicious! :-)
• a nutritional powerhouse … they have 6 grams of a highly digestible,...
