How to use

To make porridge, combine buckwheat flakes with water or milk in a 1:2 ratio (one part flakes to two parts liquid) and cook over low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the desired consistency is reached. For cold preparations, soak flakes in milk, yogurt or plant-based milk for 10–15 minutes before serving. Add to smoothies for extra body and fiber by blending 1–2 tablespoons with other ingredients. When baking, replace part of the flour with buckwheat flakes or fold them into batter or dough to add texture; adjust liquid levels as needed because flakes absorb moisture.

Usage recommendations

Store the product in a cool, dry place and reseal after opening to maintain freshness. For best texture in porridge, adjust cooking time and liquid according to personal preference; for baking, mix flakes with finer flours or pulse briefly in a blender if a smoother crumb is required.
