Russkoe Pole Buckwheat, 53 oz

I bag arrived damaged and spilled. Contacted Amazon and they went out of way to refund entire order. The other bags were great shape and the price very good. Shipped fast.

good size and price

One of my side-quest missions in life is to refer as many people as possible to this specific product on Amazon so they can experience the superior grain for themselves. I was first introduced to buckwheat by a Ukrainian co-worker, but even the Whole Foods in my city doesn’t carry proper buckwheat and a trip to another town with a European store isn’t convenient. Although I can’t read the Russian writing on the bag, I like the packaging design. I’m a geography and history nerd and it makes me feel like I’m eating real Soviet buckwheat. I’ve lost count how many bags I’ve ordered off Amazon. It comes double sealed and always tastes fresh. It’s more filling than rice, but lower in calories and higher in protein. It also cooks up faster than rice and has enough flavor to be eaten plain. I’m off to go cook a pot now.

Can’t find this stuff in stores here, this stuff is great.

Just like mom used to make.

First of all the package of buckwheat was not sealed....there was a hole in the corner. Then I discovered an added paper sticker over the bar code and product information. When I peeled it off it stated that the shelf life of the product was 20 months and to see the output date stamped on the package. The date on the bags other side said 12/12/23.....so that would mean it is only good until October 2025. The paper sticker that was added says Expiration 5/31/27. I would NEVER use an unsealed package of food, much less one with a questionable expiration. My daughter had the same issue with this product also. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!! What a waste of my money!!

a real thing

I’ve ordered this product four times now, and it’s consistently excellent. The packaging is perfect, and delivery is always fast. Thank you!
