Ingredients

3/4 cup dry buckwheat groats

2 cups filtered water

Preparation

Level: Easy

Servings: 1 1/2

Cook Time: 7 min

Ready In: 36 hr 7 min

Soak dry buckwheat groats in filtered water in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, drain into a colander.

Use a spatula to gently move groats to the sides of the colander so they are evenly spread out. Put colander on a plate to catch any dripping water, and cover with plastic wrap. Cut holes in plastic wrap with knife, and set colander out of the sun in a cool dry place.

In 24 to 36 hours, the buckwheat will sprout baby tails.

Store sprouted groats in a container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
