Sprouting Buckwheat
To sprout the Buckwheat:
- Put the buckwheat groats into a glass jar and cover the jar with cheesecloth.
- Fill the jar half full of water and soak the groats for at least 6 hours (you can soak them overnight if desired).
- In the morning, drain the soak water off.
- Place the jar upside down on an angle in your dish rack, to allow any excess water to drain off.
- Rinse them in the evening and drain the water off again.
- Leave the jar sitting upside down on an angle again to drain off excess water.
- In the morning, you will have little 'tails' on the groats. They are now ready to use in the above recipe.
