Webka Wheat Groats 650g (1.4lb)

Webka Wheat Groats is a package of whole or coarsely ground wheat groats from Webka — a Central/Eastern European grain and cereal brand — providing the pšenična krupica (wheat groat) in the format that occupies an important position in Slavic and Eastern European grain cooking: the coarser-than-flour, coarser-than-semolina wheat preparation used in porridges, side dishes, and the grain-based dishes that run from Russian krupenik to the everyday grain side across multiple Eastern European food cultures. Webka is a grain and cereal brand producing the full range of staple grains used in the Eastern European and Slavic kitchen — buckwheat, barley, millet, and wheat groats — in the tradition of the Eastern European grain pantry that centres grain cooking as a dietary foundation across the region's cuisines. Wheat groats in Eastern European cooking represent the grain staple before industrialisation fragmented grain into flour and semolina: the whole or coarsely cracked wheat that cooks into a thick, satisfying porridge or a chewy side dish that absorbs the broth or sauce it is cooked with, appearing in forms from the Russian krupenik (baked wheat porridge) to the Central European grain stuffing for cabbage and other vegetables to the simple, nourishing side dish served beside roasted meats. Cook in salted water or broth until tender and serve as the grain side dish beside roasted meat or stew, use as the filling for stuffed cabbage or peppers in place of rice, make into a thick breakfast porridge sweetened with butter and honey, or cook and cool for use in grain salads and bowl preparations.
