Buckwheat sprouting failure- help!

First my barley wouldnt sprout and now my buckwheat- my question is- should I dehydrate the soaked groats to make buckwheaties even if it didnt sprout? Does it mean it is old?

Thanks for your advice

    where the groats brown or with a green tinge, brown arent raw, green tinge are, they only need a quick soak, like half hour, otherwise they go mushy, rinse them a couple of times a day to stop them going "cheesy". you could still make buckwheaties from the non sprouted groats but the chances are that if they didnt sprout they arent raw.

    Buckwheat gets waterlogged really quickly. How long are you soaking it? Also, are you rinsing well then totally draining it? I have a tendency to rinse all of my seeds, but then leave them too wet. As a result, many don't sprout.

    Here is the link that I followed to sprout my buckwheat, and it worked each time. Be sure to only soak the seeds 20-60 mins and rinse REALLY well before sprouting.

    Good luck to you!

    I buy "Wolff's" buckwheat groats [https://tbmpy.com/product_groats.htm] at my local Central Market. They sprout great!

    I also use the website that rawflamenca posted for sprouting - SproutPeople has great information on sprouting!

    Good luck - I hope you figure something out!
