According to Russian analysts, a second wave of the crisis is coming, and therefore cereals, and especially buckwheat and rice, are being pumped home from the shelves of grocery stores. Moreover, retired grandmothers are distinguished by the highest thrift. Their cereals can be stored for many years. But not everyone knows that buckwheat has its own shelf life, and they also do not take into account the recommendations on how to properly store it.
Instructions
Step 1
Buckwheat is not just a cereal, but an edible seed of a sowing plant of the buckwheat family. Many tasty and healthy products are obtained from unboiled or steamed buckwheat grains by separating the kernel from the fruit shells. For example, buckwheat flour, made - crushed grains, kernel - peeled triangular grains, which we actually usually use for food.
Step 2
First of all, remember that buckwheat should not be stored for more than twenty months. In this it is inferior to such cereals as rice and wheat.
Step 3
To preserve buckwheat as long as possible, you need to sift it first.
Step 4
Before storing it, buckwheat must be dried in an oven. If you have a lot of bags, this can take quite a while.
Step 5
Then take the sifted buckwheat and sprinkle in opaque dry jars.
Step 6
Close the jars very tightly with the lids and place in a dry, dark, cool place.
Step 7
Before giving money for cereals, it should be carefully checked for bugs. Otherwise, any storage of it will go down the drain.
Step 8
If you bought very little cereal, then it can be stored in the refrigerator. Preferably not in polyethylene - in it the cereal suffocates very quickly and disappears.
Step 9
Before eating buckwheat after long-term storage, it must be thoroughly rinsed. To make it tasty and aromatic, pour the buckwheat into a skillet and dry for about seven minutes over medium heat. Do not forget to stir it thoroughly, otherwise it will burn.
Step 10
To make buckwheat crumbly, put it in a saucepan and fill it with water so that it only covers the cereal. Place the pot on the water and wait for the water to boil. Then reduce heat and add salt or aromatic seasoning. Close the lid and keep on low heat for about ten minutes. Do not lift the lid while the cereal is boiling. Next, remove the porridge from the heat, cover the pan with a towel and rest it for fifteen minutes under the pillow.
