Oltresole organic hulled buckwheat, in the 5 kg convenience package, is an atypical cereal also known as black wheat, belonging to the Polygonaceae family. Although it is often classified among cereals, buckwheat does not belong to the Gramineae family. Its seeds, rich in plant proteins, B vitamins, and essential minerals such as iron, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, copper, and zinc, represent an important nutritional resource. Oltresole raw hulled buckwheat is ideal for traditional dishes like soups and stews, but also for more particular preparations like pizzoccheri or polenta taragna. Its versatility in the kitchen also makes it suitable for baking, perfect for those seeking authentic and tasty flavors. Buckwheat does not require soaking. Simply rinse them under running water, cook them in plenty of salted water (1 part buckwheat and 2 parts water) for about 20-30 minutes.
