Already Growing Wheatgrass? Grow Buckwheat Lettuce Too!

If you are already growing Wheatgrass at home, you should try to grow buckwheat as well. You don't need to buy anything else except the buckwheat seeds, and it grows pretty much the same way as wheatgrass. Here's what you need to do to grow easy buckwheat lettuce:

1. Soak the seeds for 10-12 hours.
   
2. Drain the water out and pre-sprout them the same way as you grow wheatgrass. If you haven't grown wheatgrass, take a look at these instructions.
3. Rinse the buckwheat seeds twice a day, until little roots come out--usually after 1 day
   
4. Put the seeds on soil just like you do with wheatgrass. Water twice a day, and after a week or so, they will be 4-6 inches tall and ready to eat. Cut them just above the roots and they are good to go.
