Anybody who says buckwheat is received expired. Easy to check on quality. Open product, does it smell like grain or does it smell like mold? If it smells like buckwheat grain, it has been packaged properly and is ready to be consumed. If it smells like mold or moist dust, your product is indeed not good for consumption. File a claim with the Amazon. Grains in general if stored in cool dry place can remain fresh for 4-8 years. Buckwheat comes pre-heated (mild fry) so it can be stored for a long time with no issues.Flavor and price are great, but the broken tooth was not expected. These are much harder than other buckwheat / groats that we have purchased.Buckwheat, very healthy and tasty ?. I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I wish there was a grocery store in the American. For dinner it's great too sweet cream and for breakfast with half a teaspoon of cinnamon. Fry the dinner on smoked bacon cracklings, onion and a tablespoon of lovage. It stands well after lovage and it gets wet. Used in folk medicine since the dawn of the world. For dinner in the evening, you can add a spoonful of butter, cream, egg and fry in a pan.My favourite healthiest lunch, can eat any way you like it.Highly recommend.Good product. My Russian wife grew up eating this traditional breakfast grain—каша (kasha) or гречиха (grechikha)— and she thinks it’s very good quality and taste.We ordered the six-pack. I had price-shopped carefully and compared reviews. I don’t know how long six packages will last us, but I will probably order again. (As an American, I don’t get too excited about buckwheat in general—either in Russia or the USA, but with adequate seasonings and butter, for instance, I am getting used to it.)Short story: I recommend this product.I love brown buckwheat. Second time I am ordering this, it’s a Russian staple in the kitchen.Sabe un poco como pero no es un mal sabor, no tiene forma de volver a sellar el empaque es una buena inversión porque son varios paquetes para lo que yo le estaba buscando fue perfecto
