This is a food to eat along with fish, chicken or meat.

The following foods are considered pareve, or neutral, and may be cooked and eaten with either fleishig or milchig: 1. Fish. Fish must have both fins and scales in order to be considered kosher. 2. Vegetables, Fruits, and Grains. All foods that grow from the soil are kosher; however, these foods must be carefully examined before being used to make sure they are free of insects (which are not kosher.)

• MICROWAVE OVEN DIRECTIONS: In a glass bowl, stir slightly beaten egg into kasha. Place in microwave oven and cook on high setting 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds to separate the grains.
