Buckwheat berries with hull on them?
I just bought a bag of buckwheat berries from the bosch store today, and when I got home, I realized they still have the papery "hull" on them. Can I grind them as-is to use for buckwheat flour? I can't imagine removing the hulls one by one, that would take forever!
Nope: but you can plant them in a garden, makes a great covercrop adds nitrogen to soil
Mylissa20,
Maybe you just can discard the ones with shells and grind the rest?
but if you want them dehulled, try rolling them in a cloth to take the hulls off, and then winnowing them (tossing them in front of a fan to remove the bran or the hulls) do this outside or inside a large cardboard box to keep the hulls from inundating everything in the house.
