Known for their mild, nutty flavor and crunchy texture, they are great for adding to salads, sandwiches, and bowls, or incorporating into smoothies for extra nutritional value.

How to Grow: To grow Buckwheat sprouts, start by soaking the seeds in water for about 12 hours. After soaking, drain and rinse the seeds well before transferring them to a sprouting jar or tray. Buckwheat sprouts grow best in a warm environment, between 60°F and 75°F. Make sure to rinse the seeds 2-3 times daily to keep them moist but not soggy. Within 4–6 days, you will notice the seeds sprouting and growing into tender, fresh greens.

Harvesting: Buckwheat sprouts are typically ready to harvest when they are 2–3 inches tall, usually around 4–6 days after starting. Harvest by rinsing the sprouts thoroughly and draining them well.
