Russia's foundation grain in eight neat portions — fifteen minutes, no measuring, no scrubbed pans.

RUSSIA   ·   UVELKA   ·   8 × 80 g

What it is

Whole buckwheat groats — ядрица — calibrated and packed into eight food-grade ThermoProof boil-in-bag pouches. Same Uvelka grain quality as the loose 800 g packs, just portioned for measure-free convenience: one bag per person, drop into salted boiling water, lift out when done.

Packed by Uvelka, the long-running Chelyabinsk-region grain house whose pale-yellow box is a fixture in Russian and Eastern European pantries. Naturally gluten-free, an old, honest grain — eat the cooked groats warm with butter, with milk for breakfast, alongside braised meats, or as the base of a thick mushroom kasha.

How to cook

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil — at least 1 litre per bag. Drop in 1 or 2 bags, and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, until the grain is tender. Lift each bag out by the paper tab, snip the corner with scissors, and tip the cooked buckwheat into a bowl. Stir in a generous knob of butter and season to taste.
