How to choose high-quality buckwheat? When buying, pay attention to its appearance. The grains should be of the same shape and size. There should be no debris or crushed grains in the lower part of the package. Brown buckwheat cooks faster, as it is made from factory-baked grains. Green buckwheat takes longer to cook. It is considered more useful, but has a specific taste.
