Buckwheat

[freemotion]

The MEN article says

We grind buckwheat in a small stone-burr mill, but a blender could be used to process small quantities. The seed hulls (pericarps) slip off during grinding and are easily sifted out of the ground flour.

But for whole buckwheat....don't know....hope to find a solution by the time it is ready for harvest! Maybe the threshing bucket will work. Link: http://www.sufficientself.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=6629

I had very good luck growing buckwheat.Its a fantastic soil amendment, my honeybees love it.Its very fast growing, and ads alot of plant matter to my organic garden, and breaks down quickly.I plant it each season after i harvest my garlic.Let the bees forage,then till it in.Never harvested the buckwheat itself.
Never really cooked buckwheat or process it..

My grain book says to set a hand crank wheat mill so that it just rubs the hulls off but does not grind the grain.

Never tried it, so not sure if it would work.
