Kasha Organic

What is kasha?

Organic kasha is a versatile grain variety made from roasted buckwheat. The term originally comes from Eastern Europe, where it means groats and often also refers to a porridge made from those groats. Thanks to its nutty flavor and firm texture, this product is a suitable alternative to rice, pasta or other grains.

Preparation of roasted buckwheat groats

Our kasha is made from hulled buckwheat that is roasted in a rotating drum. During roasting the buckwheat groats develop their characteristic aroma and color. After roasting the groats are cooled and sieved to produce a clean, dry final product.

Characteristics of organic roasted buckwheat

This organic kasha is made from carefully cultivated buckwheat and is naturally gluten-free. Compared with raw buckwheat groats, kasha has a more pronounced flavor and a firmer texture. Kasha contains, among other things, magnesium (58.93% RDA per 100 grams), phosphorus (45.57%) and zinc (24.20%) per 100 grams; these values are given per 100 grams.

Use and applications

You can prepare kasha by cooking it in water. A simple preparation is 1 part kasha to 2 parts water, cooking for about 6 to 8 minutes with a lid on the pan. For extra flavor you can briefly toast the groats beforehand in a dry frying pan over low heat.

Applications of kasha:

• Delicious in yogurt, muesli or porridge with milk, honey and fruit

• As a base for salads with vegetables, oil and herbs

• Purely eaten as a crunchy snack with a light crunch

Because of its distinctive flavor and firm bite, roasted buckwheat is suitable for dishes ranging from cold meals to warm dinners. The groats can also be mixed with nuts as a side dish or used as a garnish on a tart.
