Hulled buckwheat is the best, imo. Takes longer to simmer than groats, but doesn't become as mushy, and has a better texture. You can use it like you would rice, keep it simple with soy sauce or sauces. Buckwheat makes an awesome stir fry.

Buckwheat = bliss

Just cook it like oatmeal and eat for breakfast with some fruit and stuff thrown in

just buy lentils

>>5354536
>all these carbs

Make some buckwheat patties.

They're even better with Grünkern, though.

He's probably just fat. Fat people always say carbs are bad for you, it's how they justify eating a bunch of fatty meat and cheeses

>>5355004
>>5355039
everything is bad for you if you eat too much.
constantly eating too many carbs fucks with your insulin levels and leads to diabeetus, takes years of eating like shit though

>>5355057

>constantly eating too many carbs fucks with your insulin levels and leads to diabeetus

Why enter a conversation you know nothing about?

>>5355062
dont know what youre trying to argue cause what i just said is fact. if you have research that says otherwise you should publish it and prove me wrong.

Well okay, how about the fact that one of the most effective treatments for the reversal of diabetes is a diet with more than 80% calories coming from carbohydrate

http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/29/8/1777.abstract

Diabetes comes from fat in the muscle cells impeding the absorption of glucose, leading to insulin insensitivity. It doesn't come from carbohydrate alone, and it even moreso doesn't come from whole plant food sources of carbohydrate that are rich in fiber (which is also a type of carbohydrate) that slows down the rate of digestion.

Also pic related, the diet of the longest living people in the world. 86% calories coming from carbohydrate. Carbs are what a human being requires for good health, the idea of "too many carbs" is like "breathing too much oxygen"; technically possible, but so unlikely in any normal context that it doesn't even make sense to say

>>5355078
lol cant believe youre digging up all this just for me.
never said carbs were inherently bad, too much of anything is bad.
gonna dumb it down for the sake of brevity
too many carbs=too much blood sugar=too much insulin=tolerance to insulin=type 2 diabetes
high blood sugar also causes atherosclerosis
also while the diet may play a role in their long lives it would be stupid to say that is the only reason they live so long

>>5355088
what is 'too much' though if 80% apparently isnt? thats well above what the FDA recommends

>>5355088

>cant believe youre digging up all this just for me.

I always have it on hand because there's always an ignorant guy jumping in to give his 2 cents.

>too many carbs=too much blood sugar=too much insulin=tolerance to insulin=type 2 diabetes

If that's your simplification, it's simplified to the point where it's not true. I say again, if you don't understand the science, don't enter a discussion about it, you're just putting out a bad message and misleading people. Nobody has ever gotten diabetes from eating buckwheat.

>>5355094
depends on the lifestyle, theyre probably alot more active than your average american and exercise plays a huge role in all of that. however,i have no idea if the percentage matters or if its more about the carbs in grams.

>>5355097
well thats how it works, if you dont wanna believe then whatever

>>5355106

Are you a paleo dieter by chance?

Nutrition isn't a religion; belief ain't got nothin' to do with it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with carbs, studies have shown time and time again. Especially a minor amount like 30g.

Buckwheat is super healthy. Period.

I just eat pure buckwheat soba noodles.

So fucking delicious! If I could afford them, that's all I'd eat with veggies and miso

>>5355408
100% buckwheat soba is magical. But yeah, so expensive. I usually buy the soba that is like 80% wheat, 20% buckwheat. Still better than wheat, but pure buckwheat is godtier.

>>5354951
all these COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES are fucking awesome

"Muh carbs" guy would be right if we were talking about eating pure white bread or some shit, but buckwheat has a vastly different nutrition profile than white flour. Not all carbs are created equally.

That being said, I've never actually had buckwheat. Is it cheap?

>>5355457
Not as cheap as rice, beans, or lentils, but still cheaper than meat. Can buy a 2lb bag of groats for like $8

>>5355467

>$4/lb
>not cheaper than meat

I assume they take on water, though. How many meals can I get out of two pounds?

>>5355486
Comparing foods by lb makes no sense. 1 lb of beef or chicken is nowhere near the amount of sustenance you'd be getting from 1 lb of buckwheat. 2 lbs of buckwheat is days worth of meals.

>>5355506
>Comparing foods by lb makes no sense

That's why I had that entire second half of the post.

>>5355631
1 cup of dry buckwheat makes about 3 1/2 cup when cooked.

>>5355631
>That's why I had that entire second half of the post.
To contradict your previous statement as a transparent attempt to cover all bases and not look retarded?

>>5354527
Make kutya

>>5354536
hoison sauce and buckwheat is a killer combo

teriyaki works well too
