Buckwheat Sprouts Seeds

Buckwheat shoots have thick juicy stems and broad heart shaped leaves, with a mild lemony freshness. The lettuce-like texture makes them useful as a bulk green rather than only a garnish. They germinate in two to four days and are ready in six to eight.

This is hulled buckwheat, soaked before sowing and grown under a weighted cover so the hulls shed cleanly. Cut the shoots while the stems are still tender.
