Cereals are part of a balanced diet and are the main ingredients in soups, porridges with meat and vegetables, as well as bread, such as oatmeal and corn. The most important thing is to cook them correctly, knowing how long each cereal should be soaked and whether it should be soaked at all, as well as how long to cook it.

Cereals that can be cooked without soaking
1. Buckwheat

You can easily pour water over it and let it brew for about 5 hours, or preferably 8-10. After that, you can eat it without cooking!
"The secret is that brown buckwheat is already cooked, the package says that it is roasted and dried. Therefore, plain water will be enough to make the buckwheat swell," the nutritionist said.
