Recipe Directions
1. If you have a large jar, put all the buckwheat into one jar. If it fills it more than half way you may want to split it into 2 jars because it is going to expand. You can also use a sprouter.
2. Cover with water and shake around a little
3. Put thin towel or stocking over top of jar and secure with a rubber band. This will allow you to rinse the sprouts easily. See picture.
4. Soak for 4 hours
5. Drain water out, rinse, and lay jar on side in dark place. I put mine in the cabinet.
6. Rinse and drain 2 times/day for 2 days (until they sprout little tails)
7. Dehydrate or use them for anything, bread, crackers, cookies, on a salad, sandwich, pizza, etc.
8. If you dehydrate them you can sprinkle them on raw yogurt or ice cream or salads, etc.

I sprout but lately I found something new to do with groats. I soad them for 8 hours and then rinse and put them in soil to grow my own wheat or barley grass. then I put in blender with some water and strain. then i put in lemon juice and sweetener.

Oh, nevermind my comment. I know the answer now. I can use the same method with other sprouting seeds, but with different times, is that right?

I found this page that lists soaking and sprouting times for other seeds/legumes.

smoothilove, you could probably make the granola with the quinoa or any other sprouted grain. Let me know how it comes out if you try it.

topcat, I have been thinking about that too. My friend and I were talking about growing our own grains today while we were at our community garden. Think I'm going to try it. Let me know how it works out for you.

Chris S. and justbeautiful, Yes, of course. Sprouts are very versatile. I put them on sandwiches, pizzas, salads, etc. If you do dehydrate them you can then put them in a food processor and process to a powder consistency and use as a sweetener. This works especially well with sprouted wheat. The website I put at the end of this recipe is a very helpful page on sprouting.
Justbeautiful: Yes, different seeds take different soaking/sprouting times but usually the same method. The website has a list of many seeds with their respective soaking/sprouting times.
