How many grams of boiled buckwheat in a tablespoon?

When there is no kitchen scale at hand, the measurement of products can be carried out by improvised means. In this article you can find out how much buckwheat in one serving and how many grams of boiled buckwheat in a tablespoon.

Buckwheat is considered one of the indispensable products on our table. This grain begins to feed for babies, it is boiled for a lean table, in practice there are whole "buckwheat diets." In V. V. Pokhlebkin’s book, The History of the Most Important Foods, buckwheat is called “a symbol of Russian originality.”

This culture was brought to Russia from Greece. Hence its consonant name - buckwheat, in other words, Greek groats.

Buckwheat is not a cereal, it belongs to the family of grassy plants. From the plant of the buckwheat family mined Zarditsu (whole grain and pounded), Smolensk cereals and buckwheat flour.

For people who care about their diet, it is important to know the energy value and caloric content of ready-made cereal dishes. Buckwheat in dry and processed condition has different weight and volume. When cooking it becomes harder, therefore, the volume increases. To begin with, it is necessary to sort out the cereal, and then, if the seeds are light, fry in a frying pan without oil.

In order not to be mistaken with the recipe for a new dish or to have an idea how much a baby needs for feeding, you need to know the necessary weight of the food product. All recipes indicate the right amount of cereals in grams. If you have a kitchen scale on hand or even a floor electric, it will not be a problem to find out the number of grams. And what if there is nothing at hand? Then come to the aid of various tables from the cookbooks, where everything is already measured and calculated. But what if the book did not appear next? Here, by the way, will come the knowledge of the hostess about the volume of various products.

About 17–18 grams of dry cereal breaks into an ordinary tablespoon; if applied with a slide, then up to 25 grams. From this calculation, 150 grams - 8 spoons, 50 grams - a little less than 3 spoons.

The volume of boiled cereal is more, therefore in one tablespoon can fit up to 30 grams of boiled buckwheat with a slide, 25 grams will be boiled buckwheat in a tablespoon without a slide.

In order not to be confused and do not count grams each time, you can simply remember the following relationships:

Now most manufacturers sell buckwheat in packages. One package is 80 grams of dry product - about 200 grams of the finished product. Usually in one portion of boiled buckwheat about 115 grams, that is, it is easy to calculate that one sachet is designed for 2 servings.

It is easy to calculate: knowing that 100 grams of dry buckwheat is 250–300 grams of boiled, it turns out (80x250) / 100 = 200.

If there is only crumbly (unpackaged) buckwheat, we look at the table: 80 grams of buckwheat make up about 3 spoons.

Many recipes indicate the amount of product not in spoons, but in glasses. Thus, the volume of the average capacity of glass 250–300 ml (faceted or normal). 170 grams of buckwheat is placed in the same container with the edges, filled not with the top, but with risk. In a glass of thin glass filled to the top - up to 210 grams of buckwheat.

Compared with other cereals, buckwheat is not the heaviest cereal. So, if you measure rice, wheat or pearl barley, their volume will be less compared to buckwheat, and if you measure them with spoons, then the volume will be about the same: 8 grams in a teaspoon and 20 grams in a tablespoon.

The content of kilocalories in the product depends on the method of preparation. Buckwheat is no exception.There are 169 kcal per 100 grams of uncooked cereals. In the big spoon the energy value is 51 kcal. One portion contains 194 kcal.

Calorie classification: 30% fat, 60% carbohydrates, 10% proteins. In one full faceted glass of dry buckwheat can be up to 583 kcal.

During the diet on buckwheat consumes about 800 grams of the finished product per day, that is, about 7 servings, which corresponds to a fractional diet. It takes into account the fact that the sheaf is not boiled, but is filled with boiling water before swelling for 4–6 hours.

A large and frequent use of buckwheat is contraindicated in gastritis and ulcers, as well as during pregnancy and lactation. In addition, there is an individual intolerance to the product.
