"Uvelka" - the standard of taste

According to the evaluations and reviews of buyers, this manufacturer is a priority when choosing buckwheat in packaged bags. It is “Uvelka” for many that is the most delicious buckwheat, which is not inferior in its organoleptic properties to traditional unsteamed cereals. Among the advantages, users also note the absence of trash, the optimal portion size (80 g) and a humane price tag.

"PROSTO" - the best price

Among the other participants in the rating, the manufacturer “Prosto” stands out for the most attractive price for a package of 500 g.

The brand, which is not the most popular in stores, produces really high quality Altai groats, which is worthy of a separate mention. The raw materials used are grown in ecologically clean conditions, the grains are large and whole. Users note the rich aroma, crumbly structure and the absence of debris. A distinctive feature of the packaging of this manufacturer is the increased volume: one sachet contains 125 g of dry product - in finished form it can be enough for two or even three full servings of porridge.

What to look for when choosing buckwheat bags

Buckwheat is perhaps the most popular garnish option among Russians, if you do not take into account everyone's favorite potatoes. To choose a really high-quality product in the store, it is enough to adhere to a few simple recommendations:

• Choose cereals in polypropylene cooking pouches with PP marking and number 5. Unscrupulous manufacturers can use hazardous plastic packaging made of polystyrene - its presence is indicated by the PS marking or number 6.
• Kernels are buckwheat made from whole unbroken grains, the most useful, pure and high quality. When processing it, only the upper shell of the fruit - the husk - is removed. It is recommended to give preference to this particular type of cereal, because its chemical composition is most enriched with vitamins, minerals and easily digestible protein. Chopped buckwheat seed has the name "made" - it is impossible to cook crumbly porridge from it.
• Pay attention to the shelf life of the product: it should not exceed 20 months from the date of manufacture. Otherwise, this cereal will be of poor quality with foreign additives of unnatural origin, the benefits of which are extremely doubtful.
• If you have already purchased buckwheat, before cooking, carefully check the package for leaks: if the packaging is broken, harmful microorganisms could start in the cereal.
