{"product_id":"buckwheat-hulled-kuttu-giri","title":"Buckwheat - Hulled (Kuttu Giri) 500g","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite its name, \u003cstrong\u003eBuckwheat is not a cereal grain\u003c\/strong\u003e. In India, it is better known as \u003cstrong\u003eKuttu\u003c\/strong\u003e, and for generations it has been a familiar ingredient in kitchens, particularly during \u003cstrong\u003eNavratri, Ekadashi and other fasting occasions\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh in the hills of Uttarakhand, where traditional crops have long been part of mountain food culture, Buckwheat has found its own place on the Indian plate. Its naturally earthy, slightly nutty flavour gives it a character that is quite different from everyday rice and wheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust Organik Organic \u003cstrong\u003eBuckwheat Hulled\u003c\/strong\u003e, also known as \u003cstrong\u003eKuttu Giri\u003c\/strong\u003e, is sourced from the \u003cstrong\u003ehigh hills of Uttarakhand\u003c\/strong\u003e. The grains are carefully hulled to remove the tough outer husk, leaving behind the clean, edible kernels, commonly called \u003cstrong\u003ebuckwheat groats\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuckwheat is naturally \u003cstrong\u003egluten-free\u003c\/strong\u003e and provides \u003cstrong\u003edietary fibre, plant-based protein, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, copper and iron\u003c\/strong\u003e, along with naturally occurring antioxidant compounds. Its protein is also notable for providing a good balance of essential amino acids compared with many common plant foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Kuttu is perhaps best known in India for fasting, there is much more to this traditional ingredient. The hulled grains can be cooked into \u003cstrong\u003eKuttu khichdi\u003c\/strong\u003e, simmered into porridge, prepared as an upma-style dish, or cooked and served with vegetables, curd, dal or other suitable accompaniments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole kernels can also be added to \u003cstrong\u003esalads and grain bowls\u003c\/strong\u003e for their distinctive texture. If you prefer using Kuttu as a flour, the hulled grains can be ground before preparing familiar Indian recipes such as \u003cstrong\u003eKuttu roti, cheela and pakora\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Uttarakhand, Buckwheat is more than an alternative grain on a modern health-food shelf. It is part of a tradition of growing and cooking resilient crops in the mountain landscape. Today, that same traditional ingredient can find a place in both \u003cstrong\u003eIndian fasting recipes and everyday meals\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the \u003cstrong\u003ehigh hills of Uttarakhand to your kitchen\u003c\/strong\u003e, Just Organik Organic Buckwheat Hulled brings the natural character of \u003cstrong\u003eKuttu Giri\u003c\/strong\u003e to the table — earthy, versatile and rooted in India's traditional food culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just Organik","offers":[{"title":"500gm","offer_id":53595859157357,"sku":"CN146","price":175.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/3538\/3917\/files\/Just_Organik_Buckwheat_hulled.png?v=1787553297","url":"https:\/\/www.justorganik.com\/products\/buckwheat-hulled-kuttu-giri","provider":"JUST ORGANIK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
