Rinse Buckwheat

Begin by thoroughly rinsing 100 grams of buckwheat under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes any dust or impurities.

Boil Buckwheat

In a medium-sized pot, bring two cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the rinsed buckwheat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the buckwheat is tender.

Drain and Serve

Once the buckwheat is cooked, drain any excess water. Fluff the buckwheat with a fork to separate the grains, then serve it warm as a side dish, or use it as a base for other recipes.
