Delicious facts
Cooking buckwheat in bags allows you to save time on such moments as washing cereals, removing plant debris from it and distributing cereals into portions. Also, after cooking cereals in bags, a busy housewife does not have to waste time washing the pan.
Milk porridge can also be cooked in sachets. First, boil the cereal in a little water for a few minutes, and then add water, but it is better to cook two or three servings at once to make the most of the used milk.
To cook porridge, the cereal needs to be cooked a little longer, until it is completely cooked – about 20 minutes.
The amount of liquid should be such that the water covers the bag by 1 – 2 fingers.
To save time, you can pre-boil the water in a kettle.
While buckwheat is boiling, you can quickly make a topping for it by frying onions, carrots, bell peppers or mushrooms.
Buckwheat is rich in manganese, which has a positive effect on the growth and function of the gonads.
