Adjusted for cooking: frying adds absorbed oil

Prep

Rinse the buckwheat groats, cover with water, and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes until tender, but do not overcook.
Drain the cooked buckwheat in a colander and thoroughly drain off all the water.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spread the groats evenly in a thin layer, and dry in the oven at 90°C for approximately 60 minutes until the grains are hard and completely dry.

Cooking

Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan until very hot (about 260°C).
In small batches using a metal strainer, submerge the dried buckwheat into the oil for 3–5 seconds: the grains should immediately turn white and pop.
Place the finished popcorn on paper towels to absorb excess oil, add salt to taste, and shake.
