Buckwheat porridge tastes nutty and hearty even when eaten sweetened and with fruits or berries.
- Making this buckwheat breakfast is super easy, just like making regular oatmeal, but considering one extra step, which is soaking the buckwheat kernels for a few hours or overnight.
- This step is not mandatory, however soaking the buckwheat makes it more digestible, softens it and allows for a shorter cooking time in the morning.
- But if you forget it, don’t worry, just cook the buckwheat groats a little longer.
