I’d like to know the proper time to sprout buckwheat (post soaking and rinsing) to achieve the peak nutrient profile and minimize toxicity. In the past I have sprouted buckwheat groats until they have a “tail” of about 3/8” or 1/4” in length (takes about 1.5 – 2 days). They taste fine in granola once I dehydrate them. However, I have heard of the toxicity related to buckwheat greens and possibly buckwheat sprouts, so I am wondering if sprouting too long will lead to more toxicity in the sprouts.
I know lots of you use buckwheat sprouts, so I’d really appreciate any feedback you have! Thanks!

so its probably really obvious that if your buckwheat sprouts smell really yukky that they have slightly fermented and gone off and therefore toxic? or do you just need to wash them continually. If they have been sitting in a sprouter for a day and not sprouted that would mean they have been oversoaked too is that right? Mmmm confused …..they are a little temperemental I find.
