How do you prepare Buckwheat groats? (kasha)

I'm thinking of switching to a raw food diet, so right now I'm experimenting with different foods and trying a few raw recipe items out. I have a recipe for uncooked buckwheat groats, but I was only able to find roasted buckwheat groats at the grocery store.



So anyway, I was wondering if i could prepare roasted buckwheat groats in the same way as I would raw?How do you prepare Buckwheat groats? (kasha)
i have buckwheat in the morning as a cereal. i soak them over night rinse it and then cut up some fruits and serve as is or with nut milk. i don't not know what you can do with it if it is roasted, i guess you can try it out.How do you prepare Buckwheat groats? (kasha)
My mother, who was born in Russia, always boiled kasha with some onion until it was soft. She usually served it with pot roast. But I hated the smell and taste, and never did eat it. My father, though, loved it.
