Sprouted Buckwheat is one of the world’s healthiest seeds. It’s gluten free, and people can rely on for amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants!
I grew up eating Japanese soba noodles made with buckwheat, but I had no idea what buckwheat really was. However, trying to eat everything healthy the right way, I came across buckwheat. The first time I saw real buckwheat, I thought it was grain, but it is actually a seed!
Knowing about phytic acids in whole grains, nuts and seeds, I do a lot of fermenting and sprouting of these things before I cook them, and buckwheat is something I like to sprout too!
Sprouting anything sounds difficult, but don’t let the sound of it stop you. To me, sprouting buckwheat is even easier than other kinds of seeds or beans. I’m writing this post while living abroad, and I didn’t have all the equipment I used back home, so I am sprouting buckwheat with a recycled jar, and a basic strainer, and the result is great!…
