Uvelka Buckwheat Flakes Pure Grain 400g (14.1 oz ) From Russia Kosher Pack of 2

Give it a try! I add about a half cup to my cooked oatmeal for texture and flavor.

I think about a quarter cup for a serving would be about right, as they swell quickly to about 4 times their size. They remind me a lot of grape nuts, but not as crunchy after a few minutes in milk. I added raisins, but think next time I will try some basil seeds with it. I still do think they are expensive, but what a grat alternative to wheat, which I am allergic to.

Not good as a cold cereal. Too chewy as a hot cereal. Won't purchase again.

Arrived in perfect condition. It is a delicious product, just like it is in Russia. We love to cook it.

Very hard on the teeth

I ordered a box of these Buckwheat Flakes in early June of 2023. It was good to have them with me (carried in a large, old vitamin bottle) during that summer, when I went out to western New York State to visit a spot that is dear to me, because it's associated with my father's childhood, where I had to depend on local restaurants for my meals. With a cup of hot water or tea, I could quickly and easily "cook" up a serving of these gluten-free, nice-tasting grains for myself. This year, however, when I was beginning to make plans to travel there again this summer, I looked carefully at the top of the box, and read the following: "I 02.2023/1120 II 01.2024" I believe that this indicates that the buckwheat flakes expired in January of 2024. So, I guess I can't use them again this summer. I don't know if all buckwheat flakes have a short shelf-life but, in reaction to this disappointment, at the end of last month I ordered three 500 gram (17.64 ounce) bags (the minimum order) of _organic_ buckwheat flakes from a company called "Naturitas," based in Massanes, Spain. The shipping fee was quite high, and they're only promising to get it to me (in NYC) between 11/25 and 12/03/24. But I really hope that those bags will last me for a while.

All the negative feedback is for the lack of knowledge on how to prepare and consume. “Flakes” don’t mean “eat raw out of the box”. Add cold water 2:1 and leave for a couple hours to preserve vitamins until water absorbs. If in a hurry, add boiling water instead and microwave for a few minutes. With a pinch of salt and some corn oil or sunflower oil it is a tasty and healthy side dish. With a little sugar, salt and cold milk (after it was cooked as above) it is a breakfast that even picky kids like. Another traditional recipe is to add a smashed hard boiled egg (warning for very literal people: remove the eggshell first!), oil, salt, French fried onions and canned beets. If you educate yourself, it is a great gluten-free product.

This is a delicious and healthy food for those who do not eat fatty/sweet fastfood. These are not flakes made from flour, they are rolled buckwheat grains. Preheat the milk, add these flakes and cook/wait for 5 minutes. Salt, sugar to taste. The flakes should float in a small amount of milk , not a thick consistency. Recommend!

These are not flakes . The product is cut groats that are hard and do not cook like flakes . The add showed cookies similar to oatmeal cookies , however the cut groats remain hard . The product will only be good for hot cereal . I have bought buckwheat flakes which look like oatmeal this product is not the same. The problem is translation please remove the word flakes . It is a cut groat that requires boiling to eat it cannot be used in baking. See picture below. Buckwheat flakes on the left . This product on the right. requires
