raw buckwheat is more pale
look like mini chocolate chips
methods to ensure cereals don’t clump
add egg, mix with fork
highest in fiber and protein

cereals are?
the edible seeds of grass family plants
contain
high carb, low fat and relatively high protien
outer layers are rich in?
vitamin B’s such as folate
vitamin E is concentratd in?
the germ
What is the Germ?
the reproductive part of the seed- that germinates
“embryo of the seed”
Bran
hard out shell - high in fiber and other nutrients
Endosperm
tissue surronding the germ- contains starch and other nutrients
requires higher cooking temp, more water and cooking time to be pulled apart?
amylose bc more tightly packed/ordered due to no branching
more stickier product
amylopectin- bc highly branched
loose cluster in retrogradation- this is why short grain rice ( high in amylopectin ) stays sticky in fridge and long grain rice ( high in amylose ) gets dry. because amylose is ordered and bond closely together ( greater retrogradation
retrogradation
gelatinized starch realigning itself after cooling ( trapped water ) think of the marange turning to harder gel after heating and cooling
if expels water - synergesis
how can you decrease the cooking time of starch
pre-gelatization or the addition of disodium phosphate
is hulled or pearl barley more nutritious?
hulled bc includes the bran
