The current seed is Australian-grown and particularly suited to producing tender buckwheat microgreens, where the intact hull supports normal germination and early seedling development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuckwheat grows quickly into broad, soft green cotyledons carried on pale stems that may develop pink, red or yellow tones. The shoots have a \u003cstrong\u003emild, fresh and slightly tangy flavour\u003c\/strong\u003e and work well in salads, wraps, bowls and colourful garnishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFast-Growing Buckwheat Microgreens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhole buckwheat seed benefits from pre-soaking before sowing. Soak for approximately \u003cstrong\u003e6–12 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e, drain thoroughly and spread the seed evenly across a moist soil or coco-based growing medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGermination usually begins within approximately \u003cstrong\u003e1–2 days\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by several days of covered growth while the roots and shoots establish. Once exposed to good light, the initially pale cotyledons quickly develop their normal green colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA drainable \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/microgreen-wheatgrass-grow-tray\"\u003emicrogreen grow tray\u003c\/a\u003e with a suitable medium such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/coco-fibre-growing-medium\"\u003ecoco fibre\u003c\/a\u003e provides a practical setup for growing buckwheat microgreens and allows bottom watering once the roots are established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuckwheat microgreens are generally ready to harvest in approximately \u003cstrong\u003e8–12 days\u003c\/strong\u003e, although cooler growing conditions may extend the crop to around 14 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMild, Tender Greens for Culinary Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe broad cotyledons have a soft texture and mild flavour that makes them easy to combine with stronger microgreens. Use freshly harvested buckwheat greens in salads, sandwiches, wraps, bowls and mixed microgreen dishes, or as a colourful garnish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuckwheat greens naturally contain fagopyrins, so they are best enjoyed in normal culinary portions rather than consumed in unusually large quantities or used routinely in concentrated green juices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAlso Suitable for Cover Crops \u0026amp; Green Manure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuckwheat is a fast-growing annual broadleaf crop that can also be planted outdoors as a \u003cstrong\u003ecover crop, green manure and flowering crop for beneficial insects\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its rapid establishment provides groundcover and can help compete with weeds before the crop is cut down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUnhulled Seed vs Buckwheat Kernels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis whole unhulled seed is primarily suited to \u003cstrong\u003emicrogreen production and planting\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is different from hulled buckwheat kernels or groats used for cooking, milling and short kernel sprouting. If your main purpose is culinary use rather than planting, a hulled kernel product is the more appropriate choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable from \u003cstrong\u003e500g through to 20kg\u003c\/strong\u003e, the range suits home growers, microgreen producers, market gardeners and larger-scale crop production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ozsprout","offers":[{"title":"500g","offer_id":42801915003123,"sku":"BUCKWHEATSEEDUNHULLED-500G","price":9.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":42801915035891,"sku":"BUCKWHEATSEEDUNHULLED-1KG","price":17.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2kg","offer_id":42801915068659,"sku":"BUCKWHEATSEEDUNHULLED-2KG","price":31.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3kg","offer_id":42801915101427,"sku":"BUCKWHEATSEEDUNHULLED-3KG","price":41.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4kg","offer_id":42801915134195,"sku":"BUCKWHEATSEEDUNHULLED-4KG","price":49.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":42801915166963,"sku":"BUCKWHEATSEEDUNHULLED-5KG","price":56.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10kg","offer_id":42801915199731,"sku":"BUCKWHEATSEEDUNHULLED-10KG","price":102.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20kg","offer_id":42801915232499,"sku":"BUCKWHEATSEEDUNHULLED-20KG","price":194.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/1446\/5779\/files\/buckwheat-microgreens-seeds.webp?v=1759418239","url":"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/unhulled-buckwheat-microgreen-seeds","provider":"OzSprout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
