4 out 5 members of the family loved breakfast this morning! I’d say that is a success. The person who didn’t care for it reported a willingness to have it again, though. After rinsing the buckwheat sprouts that I began two nights ago, I put some in each cereal bowl. I topped the sprouts with [...]

Sprouting Hulled Buckwheat A man at the Farmer’s Market yesterday told me about sprouting buckwheat. It sprouts quickly (1-2 days) and makes a great breakfast.
