Sprouted Buckwheat

[GreenT]

Hi, i sprouted some buckwheat and its in the D now. It has a sour smell to it...is this normal? I have sprouted other things and it didnt smell sour

Yea, I've had that problem before... Buckwheat can get stank on ya!

Rinse it REALLY well and drain several times. It happened to me one day while making Buckwheaties, so I lefi it on the mesh sheet and washed it well and it was ok... It may have been old out of the store, too. I recently had to chunk some myself recently. If yours smell moldy or when you rinse & rinse it still smells bad, I'd prob chunk it & restart again with a fresh batch...

I took them out of the D and rinsed them again..they seem to be fine now. Thanks so much for the advice. They could be old, or maybe i just didnt rinse them well enough throughout the process????

Hi! I had a different issue when sprouting and dehydrating buckwheat- it looked the same afterward as it did when I started! Why couldn't I just have eaten it as it was?

If it looked the same after as it did before, then it may not have actually sprouted. You want it to actually sprout - it will grow a tail if you let it sprout longer. Then go ahead and dehydrate it. I hope this helps! *Ü*
