About Buckwheat groats, roasted, dry
Dry roasted buckwheat groats, sold as kasha in many grocery stores, have a deep, toasty, nutty flavor that sets them apart from other grains. The roasting concentrates that flavor and also firms up the groat so it holds its shape during cooking rather than turning mushy. Despite the name, buckwheat is not wheat at all and contains no gluten. Protein content is notably high for a grain, fiber is substantial, and the carbohydrate load, while present, comes packaged with real micronutrients including rutin and magnesium. Soak or toast before simmering for best texture.
