Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This buckwheat is excellent! Finally a perfectly delicious, organic, non-roasted product that doesn't turn into mush during cooking! I grew up in Eastern Europe and "grechnevaya kasha", which is cooked roasted buckwheat groats, was my favorite hot cereal (i know i am not alone on that). In this country for many years i was completely unsuccessful in finding an American equivalent to that European buckwheat i knew and loved (the two main problems with the buckwheat grown here were complete lack of flavor and immediate disintegration of the grain on contact with water). So i had to buy my "grechka" in Russian stores, whenever i could find those; and what is sold there, although usually delicious, still is not organic (in fact you can never be sure of how it was grown) and it is, of course, roasted, which means some of the nutrients in this champion of all super grains get destroyed. ...Well, to keep the long story short. If you are an Eastern Slav with love for buckwheat built into your genes, but also happened to be a health nut and a natural food connoisseur you may want to try this buckwheat. I am not sure if you will be ready to completely give up your roasted groats just yet, but, i swear, this product comes incredibly close in flavor and deliciousness and is identical in texture. Definitely for my buckwheat pre-summer detox week I am using exclusively Anthony's organic raw buckwheat. So glad i finally found what i was looking for!
