What is this black stuff in my soaked buckwheat?

I have been soaking buckwheat for months now for my granola. Just this week after I soaked and rinsed my buckwheat I let it sit in the strainer for a few minutes. When I came back to it there was this one spot in the buckwheat where there was a dirt like substance that wasn't there before. I just spooned out that spot. Now everytime I soak buckwheat I get this. What is it? I can see how it would be easy to miss and end up consuming it. Its not there when I first start the soaking only and the very end and seems to appear in a few minutes.

    It could be buckwheat hulls.

    um I don't know. Its VERY fine and tiny like pin point size.

  • maybe it got infested with bugs?
