Bob's Red Mill Org Whole Grain Creamy Buckwheat Hot Cereal, 18 Ounce

Even though I purchased this last fall, I am just starting to use it. Buck wheat is a good GF cereal and seems to be a bit difficult to find in the local stores. I've always liked Bob'sRedmill Inn products even before I had to be gluten-free. (RIP Bob) I mix it half/half with gf oatmeal. Cook low and slow so it is creamy. It's on my re-order list, but the 4-pk is a much better value.

Taste great and good replacement for cream of wheat if you’re gluten free

Buckwheat Hot cereal is tasty and a wonderful addition to what you can eat if you are glutten free

Bob's Red Mill products are always the brand I choose. This buckwheat hot cereal is delicious and doesn't have additives other than buckwheat.

I was looking for a cream of wheat substitute which is organic. This is not the same but this is healthier.

I've recently been experimenting with alternatives to gluten, and I've learned that buckwheat is an excellent gluten alternative. I have not necessarily removed all gluten from my diet, but it doesn't hurt to try something new. My family and I eat oatmeal all the time, but they are not as experimental as I am when it comes to new food. I did give my husband a bowl of Bob's Red Mill Organic Creamy Buckwheat Hot Cereal, and he said "I like it a lot better than oatmeal!" I agree with him. It is a lot better than oatmeal. It has a really great texture, and a little goes a long way, so I keep that in mind when making it because I like my hot cereal a little more watery. I will definitely be purchasing more in the future.

I'm a steel-cut, whole groat, oatmeal guy. I like the flavor and the texture. However, I don't always have time to cook it in the morning. My wife brought home some creamy buckwheat cereal (not Bob's). It cooked quickly and had a good taste. The texture wasn't very "nutty", but it was O.K. in that respect. When the package was empty, I ordered Bob's, strictly for the convenience of getting from Amazon. Bob's version produces a thicker, "nuttier" cereal that is more filling that the previous brand. Buckwheat is very interesting to me. It can be served savory, sweet, or with other flavorings. The texture is heartier that cream of wheat, but not a chewy a steel-cut oatmeal groats. It seems to have more out-of-the-box flavor than oatmeal, but it accepts toppings well. Anyway, I love it.

Toddler & I like it. 3rd person in the house, not so much. I found they needed more water & microwave time than instructed. Just stick it in the microwave, adding more water if necessary, & let it sit for a bit until you remember it. Depending on the water level, this reminds me of congi, millet porridge, or polenta. Very easy for the toddler to eat with her hands, & sticks very well to her toddler spoons, better than puree or baby oatmeal (although I sometimes sprinkle a little on for the iron). Best with a little fruit or sweetener, or with shredded cheese like grits.
