How do I eat buckwheat groats?

Groats are best pre-soaked and then cooked. Soaking is not required, but it does soften the texture and make for a faster cook time. Soaked groats typically only take about three to five minutes in boiling water or milk to cook. Groats can also be eaten raw after soaking. Cooked groats can be mixed into oatmeal or hot cereal, added to salads and soups, as a topping to yogurt or overnight oats, or eaten on their own as a side dish.
