Buckwheat porridge is the most popular side dish among Russians.

However, porridge itself is not as healthy a product as when combined with other ingredients.

Culinary expert of HERE NEWS, chef and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova shares her culinary developments with you.

What to combine buckwheat with

Vegetable protein is absorbed by only 70%, while protein contained in meat and meat products is absorbed by more than 90%.

This is why eggs, poultry, cheese and fish go well with porridge.

Buckwheat goes well with vegetables that contain plant fiber.

But the main thing, the culinary expert reminded, is to strictly observe the ratio of liquid to cereal. For one glass you need to take no more than 2.5 glasses of water, otherwise the liquid will not be able to absorb all the useful substances contained in buckwheat.
