What cereals can be cooked quickly, deliciously and without boiling: top 5

Unfortunately, in times of war, not everyone has the opportunity to cook properly. However, some types of cereals can be cooked quickly and deliciously without even turning on the stove.

This was reported by nutritionist Olena Bobylyak (_pohydayka_) on her Instagram page. She also named 5 types of cereals that can be prepared without cooking .

Buckwheat

The fact is that brown buckwheat is already ready - the package says that it is fried and dried. So, you can simply pour water over it. Not boiling water, but clean water at room temperature in a ratio of 1:2. It should be left in the water for about 5 hours, or better yet, 8-10 hours. After that, you can eat it.

Barley groats

This cereal should be poured with boiling water in a ratio of 1:2. Let it brew for at least 2 hours.

Couscous

Just pour boiling water over the cereal and cover with a plate for 15 minutes. Keep in mind that there should be a little more water than the cereal itself.

Pearl barley can also be covered with water, and it doesn't have to be hot. You need to cover the pearl barley in a ratio of 1:3 and let it brew for 24 hours.

Hercules

Even if the package indicates that the hercules needs to be cooked, there is an alternative way to cook it. To do this, pour boiling water over the groats and wait 15-20 minutes.
