The same buckwheat, broken finer — softer porridge, faster supper, the kind of grain you reach for on a cold morning.
RUSSIA · UVELKA · 5 × 80 g
What it is
Krupka — also called продел — is cracked buckwheat: the smaller, broken kernels left over when whole-grain ядрица is milled. Same toasty Russian buckwheat flavour, but the broken grain cooks faster and breaks down into a softer, almost creamy texture. It's the traditional choice for the Russian milky breakfast porridge гречневая молочная каша, and a gentle option for children, the elderly, and anyone who prefers a more porridge-like consistency to the firm individual grains of whole buckwheat.
Packed by Uvelka, the long-running Chelyabinsk-region grain house, in five food-grade boil-in-bag pouches. One bag is one generous porridge portion: drop into boiling water (or milk-and-water), wait, lift, fluff, finish.
How to cook
Bring a large pot of salted water — or, for breakfast porridge, a 50/50 mix of water and milk — to a rolling boil. Drop in 1 or 2 bags and simmer uncovered for about 10–12 minutes, until the grain is fully tender. Lift each bag out by the paper tab, snip the corner with scissors, and tip the cooked krupka into a bowl. Stir in butter and salt for a savoury side, or butter, sugar/honey and warm milk for breakfast.
