Bob's Red Mill, Organic Whole Grain Buckwheat Groats, Gluten Free, 16 Ounce (453 g)

I bought these buckwheat groats because I wanted to start eating healthier. (for me and my family) the first thing I made was some granola. My very picky 11 year old son ate it and liked it, although he complained that I'd burnt it lol. Last night I milled the groats into flour and this morning I made buckwheat pancakes. I'd never had them before and was worried our son wouldn't eat them but he said "They're okay." and ate the pancake down without complaint. (the pancakes were delicious, I highly recommend making them) Great product with fast delivery.

these groats make for feeling great, both by knowing you areeating something profoundly nutritious and as how energized you feel afterwards! buckwheat groats are, actually, not a wheat and are, in fact, a plant flower “seed” aka "groat" (see pic below) ... this seed is very high in both protein and fiber, which supports heart health and helps prevent diabetes and digestive disorders. and, these seeds (groats) are jam packed with nutrients and antioxidants and are considered a “superfood”. | observations | • taste great! ...they are soft and nutty, with a lot of flavor • cook fast ... though most cook for 10 - 15 minutes, we cook them for just 5 minutes to optimize their nutritional value, add cinnamon, pink salt, a tsp of coconut oil, and blueberries... and they are absolutely healthy and delicious! at 5 min., they are not super soft, rather firm with a soft crunch... a bit like al dente pasta, in terms of firmness and that soft crunch...or, like grapenuts after they have soaked in milk for a couple minutes... and, they are just delicious! :-) • a nutritional powerhouse … they have 6 grams of a highly digestible, complete protein, high in amino acids. they are also an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber and a better source than brown rice. lastly, they are high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants ... and, almost negligible in fat and packed with iron!. • gluten-free. • low glycemic index, thus, a very long-sustaining source of energy! as a very tasty part of a healthy diet, these buckwheat groats are tough to beat! very healthily pleased, Thank you. :-)

Good tasty and fresh and crunchy.

Great product

Before using Bob's I never thought that I would like buckwheat --- well, truthfully, I never actually thought about buckwheat at all! Turns out I love it and find that it fits into lots of dishes. Just about anywhere rice or couscous or bulger wheat goes, buckwheat is a good alternate. Great taste, wonderful fiber and super nutrition all rolled up into a great and flavorful grain. I've found that all of Bob's products are top notch, if somewhat expensive, and well worth the premium if affordability is not a driving force. And as for Amazon, well, again, often not the best price but great selection, easy to return and no driving!
