Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Well, I found my cheap buckwheat from UK Brow Farm. I got the initial link from a raw vegan site so I'm pretty sure they're good, and they advertise them for sprouting. The price is amazing, it's 11 lbs for $30ish, delivered. THEN I read this on their webpage: Please remember buckwheat greens contain fagopyrin, a naturally occurring substance in the buckwheat plant. When ingested in sufficient quantity, fagopyrin is known to cause the skin of animals and people to become phototoxic, which is to say hypersensitive to sunlight. So, I have two blocks to buckwheat greens. This warning, and my last two fails (which could be the seed and not me). Any advice is appreciated please! How much is 'sufficient quantity'?!
