Cooking method
Green buckwheat is perfect for germination. Pour it on paper and sort it well, removing debris and damaged grains. Put it in a sieve and rinse with cold water. Try not to damage the seeds.
Sprouting dishes should be made of glass or porcelain. The water for the whole process needs filtered. But not boiled. Since the grains increase twice during the impregnation process, it is necessary to take three times more water than buckwheat.
So, fill the cereal with water. Now the most important thing is how long to keep the grains in water? This process usually takes from 2 to 4 hours, but no longer. Otherwise, the cereal will spoil and everything must start over. But if you accidentally overexposed, and mucus appeared on the croup – do not despair. Just rinse it out.
Now drain the liquid and spread the buckwheat evenly on the bottom of the dishes. Cover with a lid, but not tightly. The air must penetrate into the container for the germination of buckwheat. Then we put the container in a dark place for a time from 12 to 20 hours. Or rather, until white seedlings from 1 to 2 mm long appear. Now you need to wait until these tails grow up to 2 centimeters. Don't forget to add some water all the time. Buckwheat should be moist. This is a guarantee that germination will take place quickly and successfully. That's it! Now you can eat sprouted buckwheat and be healthy.
