Kasha Organic

What is kasha?

Organic kasha is a versatile grain variant made from roasted buckwheat. The term originally comes from Eastern Europe, where it means groats and often also refers to a porridge made from these groats. Thanks to its nutty flavor and firm kernel, this product is a perfect choice for anyone looking for a nutritious 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 roasted buckwheat groats develop their characteristic aroma and color. After roasting the groats are cooled and sieved to produce a clean and dry final product.

Characteristics of organic roasted buckwheat

This organic kasha is made from carefully cultivated buckwheat and is naturally gluten-free. Unlike raw buckwheat groats, kasha has a more pronounced flavor and a firm texture. Kasha contains, among other things, magnesium (58.93% NRV per 100 grams), phosphorus (45.57%) and zinc (24.20%) per 100 grams, making it a rich and nutritious ingredient in a variety of products and recipes.

Usage and applications

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

Applications of kasha:

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

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

• Eaten plain as a crispy snack with a light crunch

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