Buckwheat groats smell?

Hi! I just soaked a big bunch of buckwheat groats for the first time last night, mixed them with date paste and some agave and put it in the dehydrator to make some cereal. This morning the house had an “off” smell and it’s coming from the buckwheat. Do buckwheat groats smell funny after soaking? I just pealed the teflex sheets off them and flipped it, and I’m hesitating putting them back in the dehydrator. I don’t know how to tell if it’s just a buckwheat smell or if it’s gone bad. Anybody have some advice? Thanks!

    I soaked them for about 2 hours and then rinsed them a lot. It smells a little like old, drying corn (I’m origianlly from Iowa, btw :) I’d hate to throw out the whole batch, but I’d also hate to get sick from them. :(
