About
Buckwheat is a seed that naturally contains compounds that makes it hard to digest. These compounds may also stop buckwheat from releasing all its nutrients until it is at the point of sprouting. Activating buckwheat is essentially tricking it into thinking that it is sprouting, therefore releasing its nutrients and making it fresh, sweet and crunchy to eat. The process of activating involves sprouting the buckwheat by soaking it in water and then dehydrating at a low heat (below 47°C) to make it digestible, delicious and moreish. Buckwheat is very filling due to its high content of dietary fibre, and is also packed full of high quality protein with a good mix of vitamins and minerals. It is a great pantry staple for many sweet and savoury recipes.
