I have been laid so low in my health by not only my Lupus disease processes but from all the medicines prescribed to deal with the symptoms as well. I’m now bedridden and topping 500 pounds! I have begun weening myself off medication and already feel better! I’m even able to move around better, although the sheer lack of strength due to atrophy has limited my ability! I love your vids and your work! It’s inspiring! It gives hard cases like me hope! I keep saying, “I ate my way into this, I’ll eat my way out of it!” I’m not thinking eating buckwheat will cure my Lupus, that’s unrealistic, but it can help me with my Type II diabetes & the extra protein will help burn fat & build muscle! Thank you for sharing this information with me/us!!! ❤ from Texas
Look up Dr. Brooke Goldner on here. She not only reversed her own severe Lupus nearly 2 decades ago, but has been helping many others reverse Lupus & heaps of other diseases & ailments with her free programme, just using natural supermarket foods. She has a website & has written books too. She’s very inspiring.
What really helped me the most with my Lupus was the Weston A Price diet. It was so amazingly beneficial. Read the book Eat Fat Lose Fat, by Sally Fallon Morrell.
I am from Eastern Europe. We traditionally eat lots of buckwheat. Actually there’s buckwheat diet. You loose weight by eating it plus it is really good for you and quite tasty
We have a buckwheat festival in a small city in the province of Quebec, Canada. You are right. It's definitely not a cereal. I use buckwheat flour to make crepes (we call them galette in French). They are very tasty, and there is no need to put suger in them. But I will definitely use the sprouted format.
This was very inspirational. I used to sprout buckwheat many years ago and make raw sprouted buckwheat parfaits with layers of sprouted buckwheat and fruits and raw cashew cream and little pieces of dates and soaked pumpkin and sunflower seeds. I'm going to make it and start eating it for breakfast again! Thank you 🙏
Thankyou for this great video. I'm a daily buckwheat sprouter and eater myself and appreciate learning a couple of new things. Also if you or anyone is interested there is a very strong anti cancer link with buckwheat consumption pioneered by Dr. Wolf Laskin(russian doctor back in the day I think) based on eating almost exclusively buckwheat which met with a lot of success. I thought I would mention that you can also eat this uncooked which is my prefered way. I make a simple porridge everyday with raw sprouted buckwheat, apple, banana blended and then a few grapes a mandarin and pulsed almonds thrown on top. Peace 🙏
@@livefreeallways Hey friend, Exact recipe and instructions are as follows, do it like this and it will taste good. %100 Raw and sprouted for maximum nutrients and health benefits. When you sprout it all the vitamins and minerals increase a lot along with the anti cancer effect compared to unsprouted buckwheat. Any type of buckwheat is good but sprouted buckwheat is KING :) Step 1. Soak 1 cup of RAW buckwheat overnight in glass of water and then rinse and let sprout for a day. Step 2. Rinse buckwheat and add the 1 cup sprouted buckwheat, 1 banana, 1 apple and 1 or 2 Tablespoons of water to a blender and blend this until its completely smooth(It tastes better if it's not too runny). Put this mixture into your bowl, it's the base porridge. Step 3. Pulse 1.5 Tablespoons of Almonds in blender and sprinkle on top of porridge. Step 4. Peel and chop 1 mandarin. Add chopped mandarin and 10 whole grapes on top of porridge. This is the exact way I do it everyday and it tastes good if you use the measurements and quantities I describe. You can play around with it with other fruit etc. but this works awesome and is very cheap too. I've tweaked this over a long period of time, you need to blend the apple and banana with the buckwheat sprouts to make it into a sweet porridge otherwise the raw buckwheat is just too harsh to eat. The almonds add a kind of crunch to it and the grapes and mandarin are the icing on top. Combined in this way it's delicious. If you do it everyday it just becomes an ongoing system and it's easy.
The best thing about buckwheat is that you can use for all kind of gluten free baking, bread included. Practically the only gluten free flour that can used as a single source of dry ingredients.
So I can simply replace it with all purpose flour!? 😃 And my baking will be fluffy and beautiful and delicious!?! I need to know, I’m desperate to make delicious gluten free breads and baked goods lol.
I have just found out I LOVE buckwheat, so I planted some in my yard by tossing seeds before a spring rainstorm. Now there’s lots sprouting up, looking forward to the whole cycle, and I understand it’s easy to harvest. Thanks for such an informative video.
The best thing about Buckwheat is its staying power. It was known to be the food of "peasants" who worked the land because of its staying power. Keeps you going all day especially if you farm or do any kind of labour or hard work . Buckwheat cabbage rolls are wonderful. Just add onions sauteed in butter with a bit of pork, or pork fat for the filling. (no need for tomato sauce as with rice .) Or make it into a casserole with the sauteed onions, add mushrooms and cook with chicken or beef broth . Another way I like it is a version of a 'lazy' perogy or casserole - cook up the buckwheat and add the sauteed onions and mix it with cooked pasta shells. Although google says it is a food from Asia it is well known in the Slavik parts of Eu and is a staple grown on the Cdn prairies as well as US . Buckwheat makes great pancakes - eat with sour cream like potato pancakes. Makes great bread too.
@@decathlete2000 she soaks it in water first. Remember in the old days, there was a thing called yogi-breakfast? At least when I was young and doing those things 😅. You would soak whole-wheat berries overnight and then add grated apple in the morning for breakfast. I used to add grated coconut to mine too. I figure the soaked buckwheat will taste the same. Haven’t tried it yet tho. I use mine as a rice replacement, both the Russian one (which is pre-roasted) and the ordinary one. Since I’m from Trinidad and we eat lots of ochroes/okra, I rather like the slightly slimy taste, so I often cook it as you would a pilaf, together with the vegetables and maybe some chicken.
I'm sending this off to my 3 young women. Daughter I-L is anti gluten, dairy, eggs. I don't know how she eats. One daughter is expecting 2nd baby in the new year. The other wants to stay healthy. I'll put some blueberries in her pancakes. This should "buck" us all up! I'm a Colon cancer survivor of 10 years, and fiber is my wonder friend. Just diagnosed with parkinsons 6 months ago. I know I'm missing a lot of nutrients! My son will hunt down some bw honey. Thank you for this great information.❤
I discovered buckwheat (mainly in the form of bread) last year when I went gluten free. Initially I wasn't crazy about it but it gradually grew on my and I now cannot do without it. I found several types of bread I love, buckwheat pasta is great, deserts are amazing and the list goes on. I feel nourished after eating it and now after your wonderful explanations I understand why. I didn't realize it was so nutritious but my body knew. Thank you so much for this video. Sprouting it sounds great and fun so will try it out soon!
I was eating buckwheat cereal for some years, and also groats for some years occasionally for all the wonderful reasons mentioned. The problem started to happen in the fall of 2021, when I was getting some intestinal symptoms. Buckwheat is VERY HIGH in oxalates, and not only do oxalates cause kidney stones, but also the crystals from oxalic acid deposit in the whole body, including urinal tract (bladder and intestines). The agony I went through to try and clear this out was something I hope no one ever has to go through, but apparently many do include me. Look into Sally K Norton's videos, she will break it down. BTW, Brown rice is high as well (yes, the "healthy alternative to simple carbs). Almond are VERY HIGH also (I was an almond milk guy). Hope all is well, may God Bless your Temple.
Dang, that sounds awful! I hope you're doing better!! I wonder how often we could eat buckwheat and not experience all the problems you dealt with. I certainly don't want that, lol! How often were you eating it?
I'm wondering if people like you who have this awful experience with oxalates drink/drank a lot of water. I heard someone quote a urologist they'd gone to, saying he'd be out of a job if people drank enough water. In general, I'm wondering if people with these experiences had eaten these same foods every day for a really long time. One answer (along with drinking a lot more water) may be eating more of a variety of foods.
Thank you so much, this is very informative. i spent a lot of time with my southern, elder family members. I used to eat buckwheat pancakes with a little molasses. Since I've been cutting starches I have rarely eaten buckwheat in any form because I erroneously associated it with wheat. but I've been CRAVING it like crazy. Now I understand why. It's the nutrition my body is craving.
I watched this video a week ago. I ordered some from amazon, (toasted style) and tried it tonight. Ive never had it. It is really good! I like the texture and the nuttiness in the flavor. its better than quinoa or cous cous or rice in my opinion. Thank you , lady.
I love this. I’m originally from Ukraine and raised eating buckwheat. Thank you so much for this information. I eat this for my post work out 💪 dinner 🍲. If you boil with salt, about half a tea spoon. Then drain add butter and yum 😋

I love buckwheat, aka kasha, and I even mix some in with my senior dogs food. I get mine from the Eastern European grocery, and prefer the pre portioned serving packs.
I discovered buckwheat when I loved in Poland. I believe it has a very positive effect on my health over the last few years. You've inspired me to try sprouting it. Thanks so much for the video.
keep in mind that most of the store buckwheat will not be able to sprout because it was already socked and rosted ... fewer brands produce buckwheat that is not rosted... luckuly rosting buckwhat makes it taste better and is higher in nutrients ... for sprouting rye is best than any..
Thanks. I forgot the groats are in my cabinet. Sprouting right now. Eating super healthy to keep this body in good condition. Buckwheat waffles at the store have too much sugar.
Thank you for the informative and motivating video. I bought a bag of Buckwheat for the 1st time a month ago and haven’t done anything with it. You’ve inspired me to take the first step and soak some tonight. The universe placed you in my video feed and I am grateful to you for recording healthy and healing content. Gracias ❤
Grew up eating buckwheat as my maternal grandparents came from eastern Europe. Let's face it, by itself buckwheat is tasteless. My mother taught me how to cook it. Save your chicken drippings. Fry the buckwheat in a pan with the chicken drippings until it turns a reddish color and absorbs all the chicken drippings. I sometimes throw in a shot of olive oil. Then boil in water until done. I also have substituted bacon fat with good results.
Thank you so much for the clarification on buckwheat. Despite my passion for healthy sustainable eating, and research, I missed this one: , having misconceptions about buckwheat. This is really wonderful news for me, and I can't wait to sprout my own to enjoy. 🌻🌱
I've just bought some! It's hard these days to find good foods! Germinated buckwheet sounds relatively perfect! Doesn't take too long to cook, doesn't cost too much and full of nutrients. I need to start a good diet and get healthy like I used to be! Life can be very hard and so it can be hard to stay healthy. I used to glow!!! 😞 and I want to get back to that, but I need to lose about 35lbs and it scares me because it is so hard but I need to start doing it again.
Thank you very much for your video. It was very nice. I usually start my morning with two or three big buckwheat pancakes and after I eat them, I don’t even need to eat lunch all day until later at night. Sometimes I eat buckwheat cereal, Pocono, which is organic and the same thing don’t need to eat lunch you’re right it’s really good for you. Been eating it for a long time now.
I don't cook or sprout, I pour warm water over top til fully submerged with few inches over top cause a cup can expand to almost 4 times the amount. I buy brown buckwheat, I have not worked with untoasted buckwheat. I feel so good when I eat this and an excellent rice replacement especially koshari dish.
@@richardv9648 You are on your way! ALso, Lakanto is a great substitute for added sugar, and I have found that using it kills cravings for sweets after a few days. You might like it!
Ahoy!... i periodically grow microgreen sunflower and brocoli for their yummy benifits and taste but never thought of buckwheat ...also sounds like i could replace the cereals i put in my "Bugwig" breakfeast which i make with my own super yogurt with buckwheat soaked overnight in fridge perhaps.....( another experiment to test out Mouhou hahaha) so yes this was a nice randomly recommended video i got this morning and i am thankful and grateful... i see your a musician ...i am a Singer... how cool is that! :)
I recently started growing buckwheat. I like it because it helps to add nitrogen to the soil and it grows quickly. I recently watched a video where a lady made a fermented bread using buckwheat.
OUTSTANDING video !!! You are the only person who knows buckwheat is related to rhubarb ! I’ve worked with a Russian and Ukrainian for over 15 years and am a convert. I cook it with vegetable or meat broth for more delicious flavors. It’s lovely Cooked ( and chilled) and then served cold in various salads. If you cook it with plain water it’s amenable to traditional oatmeal/fruit type treats with butter and honey , etc. Your sprouting idea is also PHENOMENAL! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I find mine locally at Russian or Mediterranean markets. Be well and stay safe !
Best video I've ever seen on this humble food 💟. Another wonderful buckwheat fact is chickens love it. So if you sow buckwheat to improve your soil, let your chickens into the buckwheat beds after you harvest your seeds. They will eat the plants, the seed heads you missed, dig up the soil and manure it too. Dig it all back in, let it fallow for a month then plant with your next veggie crop. Buckwheat cutlets made with home grown buckwheat & eggs ; healthy, delicious and affordable too😃
Thank you soo much Carisa for informing us about buckwheat. I've been eating buckwheat which I love...but did not know about growing it...thanks again.😊
Lovely lovely! And great information! I got to this because of Passover, we don’t eat anything wheat, and, tired of matzah, I wanted to make pancakes, so I stumbled upon your video - thanks so much for such great info!! More buckwheat go!
kasha (buckwheat) is a staple in my life for decades. I buy toasted bw because it's delicious. Tp sprout bw, I think it should be untoasted. I'm looking forward to sprouting it, which never occurred to me. Thank you!
Beautiful Carisa, you have motivated me to move on to sprouting grains which I find myself always making excuses and busy, for no reason not sprouting but I do sprout for my chickens sometimes (the wild bird seed mixes that I buy them, lakes makes thick,tall, Hardy greens which is silly, I need to do it for myself and my son to integrate to our diet what a great video for core health keys. Thank You!
@@CreativeConsciousLiving a lot of cities in America since the covid thing have changed their laws allowing chickens to be in the backyards my little city north of Phoenix which is a prominent wealthy area actually legalized it all across the city after many years of people complaining due to the cost of eggs and obvious inflation in the world so good luck to you maybe you can learn they can even be left in a mud room in the back of a house in a cage to be lit out carefully and manage without a huge muddy dirty farm.
Such great information!! I just made bread with sprouted buckwheat and I have been toying with growing it and now because of you I am gonna go plant some!
This is grewt. I like u alot . You are very bright. I will do this. I uaed to make b.w.flour pancakes lonnng ago. I had alot of ground cleared of weeds n bushes. Will try growing some.
I watched something months ago that mentioned buckwheat being good for you and completely forgot then this video popped up. I'm going out to get buckwheat today!
You can use those sprouts as-is in a savory salad. If you have a dehydrator you can dehydrated sprouted buckwheat to use as a cereal like Grape Nuts or a topper of smoothie bowls.
Try roasted buckwheat from Ukrainian or Russian store, it will open your eyes on proper buckwheat. No need to drain no syrups just nice firm buckwheat.
Yes buckwheat it is very good my self I used it in flower…not made ahead buckwheat floor Do not live long it will have a smell ..grind it your self from the whole kennel that is dark brown and then made buckwheat bread biscuit or else ..if you seed it it have to not freeze
Great information. I subscribed. You have a good presentation and seem very knowledgeable and dedicated. I'll be getting some organic buckwheat at my next visit to wholefoods. Thanks!
6:16 Magnesium is an element. No new magnesium could appear by sprouting. Do you mean that the molecular compsition of the magnesium changes and becomes more absorbable?
Hi! In studies, it has been found that protein content can increase during the sprouting process due to amino acids being liberated by the germination process. Enzymatic content/activity also spikes once the seed is germinating. In contrast, starch levels in the seed can actually go down as the germination process goes along. And, as you suggested, the nutrient yield of sprouts is higher compared to that of non-germinated seed because 1. the nutrients are more bio-available, and 2. the anti-nutrients have been neutralized. If you are interested, you can read a little more here: www.mdpi.com/2304-8158/12/21/3901
Thank you! I bought some, but didn’t know what to do with it. I also thought it was a grain so I was hesitant about eating it. Sounds like a great rice and wheat flour replacement!
It's considered a grain-like seed, not an actual cereal grain, if that makes a difference. It feels very different to me in my system than cereals do. I particularly like that it feels so light energetically and perfect for summer salads.
PLEASE tell people if you are serving them buckwheat sprouts or or cooking with the flour or serving multigrain chips, etc. My brother is highly allergic (his throat closes up). Home cooks and chefs enjoy being creative. Just know what you are serving. Companies are adding it to crackers, chips, and breads to brag that they are "multigrain." Some companies are filling pillows with buckwheat. Now he has to be careful about pillows! Thanks for considering this.
the Japanese make a type of buckwheat noodles called soba. It tastes good, very earthy and makes a great filling meal along with an egg and green onions
Buckwheat does contain lectins, but sprouting it and cooking in a large amount of water (that you later drain) dramatically reduces the levels of lectins. If you are going lectin-free for health reasons, you will need to make your own decision on whether buckwheat feels good to you.
im from russia and we have there a lot of buckwheat, untill i traveled to other county, which was far away from the eastern slavic countries, where there was small amount of buckwheat, its just pain.
I used to eat buckwheat as a child in the eighties and even to this day, my mother made buckwheat with fried onions, it's simply delicious!!! But not everyone likes the taste and smell of it, some people say it smells like wet dog fur😬
No frills. No annoying intro music. No ugly make up. No reading from script. Constant flow of useful knowledge. I'm in !

Thanks. I forgot the groats are in my cabinet. Sprouting right now. Eating super healthy to keep this body in good condition. Buckwheat waffles at the store have too much sugar.
Thank you for ALL THAT GOOD INFO Blessing
Thank you!!! We needed to know this you shared and are listening to it all again.
Thank you for the informative and motivating video. I bought a bag of Buckwheat for the 1st time a month ago and haven’t done anything with it. You’ve inspired me to take the first step and soak some tonight. The universe placed you in my video feed and I am grateful to you for recording healthy and healing content. Gracias ❤
Awesome! I hope you enjoy your buckwheat and this next phase of your journey!
Grew up eating buckwheat as my maternal grandparents came from eastern Europe. Let's face it, by itself buckwheat is tasteless. My mother taught me how to cook it. Save your chicken drippings. Fry the buckwheat in a pan with the chicken drippings until it turns a reddish color and absorbs all the chicken drippings. I sometimes throw in a shot of olive oil. Then boil in water until done. I also have substituted bacon fat with good results.
Thank you. I love buckwheat bread, which is something I just recently discovered, at 66 years old 😊. So easy to make as well.
Thank you so much for the clarification on buckwheat. Despite my passion for healthy sustainable eating, and research, I missed this one: , having misconceptions about buckwheat. This is really wonderful news for me, and I can't wait to sprout my own to enjoy. 🌻🌱
I've just bought some! It's hard these days to find good foods! Germinated buckwheet sounds relatively perfect! Doesn't take too long to cook, doesn't cost too much and full of nutrients. I need to start a good diet and get healthy like I used to be! Life can be very hard and so it can be hard to stay healthy. I used to glow!!! 😞 and I want to get back to that, but I need to lose about 35lbs and it scares me because it is so hard but I need to start doing it again.
I see you getting your glow back, one step at a time!
Thank you very much for your video. It was very nice. I usually start my morning with two or three big buckwheat pancakes and after I eat them, I don’t even need to eat lunch all day until later at night. Sometimes I eat buckwheat cereal, Pocono, which is organic and the same thing don’t need to eat lunch you’re right it’s really good for you. Been eating it for a long time now.
I don't cook or sprout, I pour warm water over top til fully submerged with few inches over top cause a cup can expand to almost 4 times the amount. I buy brown buckwheat, I have not worked with untoasted buckwheat. I feel so good when I eat this and an excellent rice replacement especially koshari dish.
I am so sprouting buckwheat!!!😮
buckwheat kale and kiwi - one day the world will understand…
Kiwi? Please say what's so helpful about it...🙏🏽 Thanks
What the recipe
@@Brownie118EC Thanks for answering! Wondered about the Kiwi, but found out it was an instant laxative! Is that what you meant?
So much of information in a 8 min video. How fantastic. Thank you. Subscribed.
Thanks! Are you currently using buckwheat?
@@CreativeConsciousLiving Yes. just started yesterday. Trying cut down my carb intake.
@@richardv9648 You are on your way! ALso, Lakanto is a great substitute for added sugar, and I have found that using it kills cravings for sweets after a few days. You might like it!
One of the besy most revealing food videos I've seen thank you so much.
Ahoy!... i periodically grow microgreen sunflower and brocoli for their yummy benifits and taste but never thought of buckwheat ...also sounds like i could replace the cereals i put in my "Bugwig" breakfeast which i make with my own super yogurt with buckwheat soaked overnight in fridge perhaps.....( another experiment to test out Mouhou hahaha) so yes this was a nice randomly recommended video i got this morning and i am thankful and grateful... i see your a musician ...i am a Singer... how cool is that! :)
A singer! Do you have a link to a recording you’d like to share?
What a lovely video. I'm watching this while eating buckwheat pancakes. And now I'm going to try growing some. Thank you :)
What’s your recipe for the pancakes?
I recently started growing buckwheat. I like it because it helps to add nitrogen to the soil and it grows quickly. I recently watched a video where a lady made a fermented bread using buckwheat.
Buckwheat is such a wonderful addition to the garden or farm!
I just ate 2 buckwheat waffles it was airy light and have a distinct smell I can’t make out. I really feel good after eating them.
Here in meghalaya we use to cook the leave of buckwheat with dry fish n serve with rice . ..its really tastety
OUTSTANDING video !!! You are the only person who knows buckwheat is related to rhubarb !
I’ve worked with a Russian and Ukrainian for over 15 years and am a convert. I cook it with vegetable or meat broth for more delicious flavors. It’s lovely Cooked ( and chilled) and then served cold in various salads.
If you cook it with plain water it’s amenable to traditional oatmeal/fruit type treats with butter and honey , etc.
Your sprouting idea is also PHENOMENAL! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I find mine locally at Russian or Mediterranean markets. Be well and stay safe !
Thank you!
I love this stuff. Try the toasted Kasha. Bulk Barn in Toronto area has this now.
Wow!! What a talented communicator!! Informative and entertaining. Thanks
Thank you!
A Lithuanian colleague at work introduced me to this wondrously nutritious superfood. I felt literally in love with it.
Best video I've ever seen on this humble food 💟. Another wonderful buckwheat fact is chickens love it. So if you sow buckwheat to improve your soil, let your chickens into the buckwheat beds after you harvest your seeds. They will eat the plants, the seed heads you missed, dig up the soil and manure it too. Dig it all back in, let it fallow for a month then plant with your next veggie crop. Buckwheat cutlets made with home grown buckwheat & eggs ; healthy, delicious and affordable too😃
I so look forward to having chickens and guinea fowl!
Thank you, this city girl is going to try it...
Awesome! Let me know how it goes.
That’s a convincing argument. Thank you. “Yay, Buckwheat!”
Thank you soo much Carisa for informing us about buckwheat. I've been eating buckwheat which I love...but did not know about growing it...thanks again.😊
You're welcome!
Lovely lovely! And great information! I got to this because of Passover, we don’t eat anything wheat, and, tired of matzah, I wanted to make pancakes, so I stumbled upon your video - thanks so much for such great info!! More buckwheat go!
Wonderful stuff!
Buckwheat has been a staple grain in Russia from times immemorial 😁 and it is a must for diabetics
kasha (buckwheat) is a staple in my life for decades. I buy toasted bw because it's delicious. Tp sprout bw, I think it should be untoasted. I'm looking forward to sprouting it, which never occurred to me. Thank you!
Beautiful Carisa, you have motivated me to move on to sprouting grains which I find myself always making excuses and busy, for no reason not sprouting but I do sprout for my chickens sometimes (the wild bird seed mixes that I buy them, lakes makes thick,tall, Hardy greens which is silly, I need to do it for myself and my son to integrate to our diet what a great video for core health keys. Thank You!
I so want to get chickens!
@@CreativeConsciousLiving a lot of cities in America since the covid thing have changed their laws allowing chickens to be in the backyards my little city north of Phoenix which is a prominent wealthy area actually legalized it all across the city after many years of people complaining due to the cost of eggs and obvious inflation in the world so good luck to you maybe you can learn they can even be left in a mud room in the back of a house in a cage to be lit out carefully and manage without a huge muddy dirty farm.
Buckwheat tastes just Great - so I eat it because it truly is delicious - and I love to eat Them sprouted or cooked if it is cold 🎶🧡🎵
Such great information!! I just made bread with sprouted buckwheat and I have been toying with growing it and now because of you I am gonna go plant some!
Have fun with it!
Thanks for the tip on buckwheat! ❤❤😊❤❤
This is grewt. I like u alot . You are very bright. I will do this.
I uaed to make b.w.flour pancakes lonnng ago.
I had alot of ground cleared of weeds n bushes. Will try growing some.
Wow I've learned something new today! And I thought I knew alot!!! Thank you
Great information., great teacher.
I love the little rascals
I watched something months ago that mentioned buckwheat being good for you and completely forgot then this video popped up. I'm going out to get buckwheat today!
Years ago IHOP made buckwheat pancakes. The best pancakes I've had. Wish they would publish that recipe.
Buckwheat pancakes were my favorite as a child. I didn't like the regular ones nearly as much!
Yes! Buckwheat pancakes is so good. I eat them for breakfast most every day. I add cinnamon, ginger, clove and banana.
Thank you! Very good to know. I was had buckwheat crepes with cheese inside. Delicious!
You can use those sprouts as-is in a savory salad. If you have a dehydrator you can dehydrated sprouted buckwheat to use as a cereal like Grape Nuts or a topper of smoothie bowls.
I have re-dehydrated numerous things so I can have crunchy snacks... so fun!
I learned something new today! Thank you very much!
You are most welcome!
Try roasted buckwheat from Ukrainian or Russian store, it will open your eyes on proper buckwheat. No need to drain no syrups just nice firm buckwheat.
Great information,I love it with grated cheddar stirred through at the end 😋
Yes buckwheat it is very good my self I used it in flower…not made ahead buckwheat floor
Do not live long it will have a smell ..grind it your self from the whole kennel that is dark brown and then made buckwheat bread biscuit or else ..if you seed it it have to not freeze
So informative! Thank you. I'm going to look for buckwheat recipes IMMEDIATELY!
Fabulous info, very interesting, i, definately going 2 get some to sprout, thanking U
I love buckwheat with lots and lots and lots of butter.
Do I have to rinse the mucilage off? Can i just keep it or will it hamper the sprouting process?
I recommend rinsing, it gets really sticky!
Ms., you look very healthy. I'm gonng to start eating buckwheat. I've heard of Tartary Buckwheat, which is loaded with polyphenols. May try that too.
Thank you. Just so happens I have some Buckwheat on hand. I’m going to sprout it as you suggest.
Great information. I subscribed. You have a good presentation and seem very knowledgeable and dedicated. I'll be getting some organic buckwheat at my next visit to wholefoods. Thanks!
My dad replenished his garden soil by planting buckwheat. Thanks for the reminder.
Beautiful! You are most welcome.
6:16 Magnesium is an element. No new magnesium could appear by sprouting. Do you mean that the molecular compsition of the magnesium changes and becomes more absorbable?
Hi! In studies, it has been found that protein content can increase during the sprouting process due to amino acids being liberated by the germination process. Enzymatic content/activity also spikes once the seed is germinating.
In contrast, starch levels in the seed can actually go down as the germination process goes along.
And, as you suggested, the nutrient yield of sprouts is higher compared to that of non-germinated seed because 1. the nutrients are more bio-available, and 2. the anti-nutrients have been neutralized.

@@CreativeConsciousLiving thank you!
This was awesome. Thank you!
Excellent info! Thank you.
I make a delicious raw sprouted buckwheat granola with nuts and apples in my dehydrator, super healthy and yummy!
thanks for the info here! Just bought some to try out your ideas! thanks!
Thank you for this lovely informations I will buy some buckwheat. Seem a very nourishing product to consume.
Thank you! I bought some, but didn’t know what to do with it. I also thought it was a grain so I was hesitant about eating it. Sounds like a great rice and wheat flour replacement!
It's considered a grain-like seed, not an actual cereal grain, if that makes a difference. It feels very different to me in my system than cereals do. I particularly like that it feels so light energetically and perfect for summer salads.
PLEASE tell people if you are serving them buckwheat sprouts or or cooking with the flour or serving multigrain chips, etc. My brother is highly allergic (his throat closes up). Home cooks and chefs enjoy being creative. Just know what you are serving. Companies are adding it to crackers, chips, and breads to brag that they are "multigrain." Some companies are filling pillows with buckwheat. Now he has to be careful about pillows! Thanks for considering this.
Is he allergic to Rhubarb?
Thank you for this video. I tried buckwheat pancakes today and they were pretty tasty. Looking into trying more dishes with buckwheat.
I grew up on those! I probably used wayyyy too much pancake syrup for them to be healthy, but at least I got some nutrition in there!
Thank you for this important information
I had no idea. Thanks for the information!
I have buckwheat cakes once a year at the county farmers festival in WV.
the Japanese make a type of buckwheat noodles called soba. It tastes good, very earthy and makes a great filling meal along with an egg and green onions
Does it have lactins
Buckwheat does contain lectins, but sprouting it and cooking in a large amount of water (that you later drain) dramatically reduces the levels of lectins. If you are going lectin-free for health reasons, you will need to make your own decision on whether buckwheat feels good to you.
im from russia and we have there a lot of buckwheat, untill i traveled to other county, which was far away from the eastern slavic countries, where there was small amount of buckwheat, its just pain.
I hope you can find some buckwheat soon!
I used to eat buckwheat as a child in the eighties and even to this day, my mother made buckwheat with fried onions, it's simply delicious!!! But not everyone likes the taste and smell of it, some people say it smells like wet dog fur😬
Right? It's so interesting that we are all so unique in our experiences.
I include buckwheat in my diet. I like it.
