Raw buckwheat

The buckwheat groats I have in my hand say : 1/4 cup (45g) dry 150 calories. I believe if you have 100 g of buckwheat groats measured dry you will be getting more than 300 calories. If the ones you saw are measuring the 100g after they were cooked the value will be different. I have a bag of "Bob's red mill" buckwheat groats. I went in and looked at the ones in the data base and it seems to vary based on preparation. I would measure 43g dry because after you cook them it does make quite a hearty serving.

Do you have any good recipes for these groats or are just starting them? I have only made them a time or two, and I would love to get some tried and true recipes. Also, have you used buckwheat flour? I just made some pancakes that are so good! Light and fluffy!

So, I might be a little strange in what I consider tasty... but I love to just eat the buckwheat groats raw. I think they are roasted. They taste nutty and earthy. I just snack on them by the handful, but usually not more than a handful because the calories can add up. I haven't done that for a while, this post makes me miss them. I swear they give a little energy lift when I need a boost.

Enjoy your groats!

LOL! I tend to find odd things tasty as well! Maybe you just gave me a good snack idea!
