PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Yupik's Organic Hulled White Buckwheat may have "Wheat" in its name, but it is not related to it in any way! Buckwheat is a seed that is classified as a cereal grain since it cooks like other common grains. Hulled buckwheat groats have had their outer shells removed to reveal a light color and a three-dimensional pyramid shape. Nutty in flavor, buckwheat groats are tender in texture once cooked, and can be used in both sweet and savory applications!
HEALTH BENEFITS: Let’s get complex! Organic Hulled White Buckwheat is a raw, whole grain. Buckwheat is an excellent source of protein, fiber, iron, and complex carbohydrates. Buckwheat is also rich in flavonoids, which help neutralize free radicals from the body.
HOW TO USE BUCKWHEAT: As versatile as they come! Buckwheat cooks in a classic 2:1 ratio; one cup of groats to 2 cups of water (or stock). From porridge to granola bars, and side dishes to salads, buckwheat can be used in the same cooking methods as most grains! One of our favorite warm buckwheat salads includes sautéed kale, butternut squash, toasted and chopped hazelnuts, topped with goat cheese and a simple olive oil and orange juice vinaigrette. Create your own warm or cold buckwheat salad with ingredients you enjoy! Toss buckwheat with beets, arugula, and top with seared tofu for a delicious and complete vegetarian meal. You can also use cooked buckwheat as a bed or side dish to protein, seafood, vegetables, and sauces (like tomato sauce and meatballs)!
