Organic Gluten Free Creamy Buckwheat Hot Cereal, 510g

Taste good

Very tasty and easy to cook, sets you up well for day

Not very keen on this cereal, very grainy.

Avoid this product it takes so long to cook and be edible. Over 20 minutes of cooking and still not soft enough to eat. I tried with water and milk and both the same. I suspect you’d have to soak this product in water over night before it’s possible to use. The instructions are highly misleading for a microwave saying a few minutes is a joke.

My children love these

Having grown up on buckwheat for breakfast, I was excited to try this product, mostly to save some time in the morning preparing it. I’m really pleased with how quickly it cooks compared to whole buckwheat grains, and I quite like the ‘porridge’ like texture! I personally cook this stove top with bone broth and serve with poached or soft boiled eggs for a savoury breakfast option. I find the flavour feels a bit more “bland” compared to whole buckwheat groats, which I don’t mind at all. I think it’d make a really alternative for oats for the people who are curious to try different grains without them being too nutty in flavour. I like that it’s easy to digest and doesn’t leave me bloated compared to other wheat breakfast options, even if I’m not a coeliac.

Good stuff but of course it's bland by itself. I use it for backpacking and it cooks as easily as instant oatmeal. Just get a couple small zipper packs, like what Mountain House meals come in. I think Good To Go has some small granola packs like this. Eat the granola and keep the bags. Put ever how much of this you want in them, add boiling water, seal it shut and it's done in 10 minutes. Take care of the bags and you can use them over and over. It's better for you than oatmeal, too. The texture is different, but oatmeal has tryptophan and serotonin in it and makes you drowsy. If you've been using instant oatmeal, that stuff is loaded with sugar and only makes it worse. This is so much better for you.

First time trying this.It is very creamy and the grain is not coarse.I eat is as hot cereal .Tastes like rice to me.Not as thick and dense as a rolled oatmeal cereal.

My husband loves buckwheat cereal but since Bob's Red Mill company store closed last year after his death (RIP, Bob, I'll never forget your impromptu piano concerts during lunch), it's been hard to find. Until now. I ordered a bag last month and surprised my husband with it. It made him very happy, and that makes me happy. It's very easy to prepare; 1/3 cup cereal, 2/3 cup water, 1/3 cup milk in a 20 oz bowl, add a pat of butter (helps control spillover) and 2-3 minutes in the microwave. It's a delicious hot breakfast for both him and our dogs (I make a bit more than the package directions state since he eats most of it and our Beagles finish it up). And, I throw a handful when I bake bread or pizza crust since it adds a delicious nutty flavor.
