Fagopyrum esculentum
Buckwheat is known as a pseudograin because it can be used much like a grain and is popular in gluten-free recipes and cereals; however, buckwheat is actually a fruit seed, a relative of sorrel and rhubarb.
When it comes to sprouting, think of buckwheat any way you like, as a grain or seed. It's delicious either way.
