Drain. The buckwheat is ready to eat. Instead of water, you can use milk, broth or mushroom decoction. We can also prepare white buckwheat without cooking. To do this, pour lukewarm water with lemon juice into a pan and leave it covered overnight. In the morning, rinse the buckwheat in a sieve. This process must be repeated until the buckwheat no longer foams. After draining, it is suitable for immediate consumption.
