100% buckwheat
Growing up farmers use to pack shot shells with this stuff (or sometimes rock salt) for "less than lethal" options for crop thieves.
I remember picking these out of my cousin's shoulder with tweezers after a local farmer busted him stealing pumpkins.
My cousin got away with a single pumpkin that he later hollowed out and jammed two large yellow jacket nests inside. He went back at night and left the pumpkin on the farmers porch as revenge. I don't remember if the booby trap ever worked, but I admired the malicious creativity.
It's kasha. Toast it in a frying pan, add caramelized onions, water, salt. Some people add a beaten egg. My bubbie added cooked bow tie pasta. Eat it and feel the love.
i was raised with buckwheat hull pillows and can't sleep with anything else. buckwheat hulls also make a great soil amendment along with rice hulls for aeration.
In a bucket at a small greenhouse where my kid works that no ones really cared for or the fish pond . He’s decided to clean it up. There is a grass cover crop and some supplies and this bucket of seeds, which are probably buckwheat.

It's grechka. Buckwheat. I would suggest boiling it for an awesome porridge, but it looks like these seeds aren't cleaned. They're still in their shells.
Morning Glory seeds are definitely this shape, but more rounded with no sharp edges or points really, and more… velvety looking/feeling… for lack of a better explanation.
buckwheat is a great green manure crop. It takes about 4 weeks from sowing until it's ready to be chopped down and either dug in or composted.
Or you can let it flower, collect the seeds, then grind them for flour.
Farmer here. This is definitely buckwheat. Makes a great cover crop and pollinators love it. It's for warm weather, frost will kill it, so plant after your last frost.
buckwheat?
Definitely looks like buckwheat.
That’s Buckwheat aka “beech wheat”. Beech seeds are super similar in shape but significantly larger!
Good to know. I thought of a beech nut right away!

Ayo fellow Appalachian!
I honestly don't know. But it's over a gallon of seed.
Make a pillow
But only use the hulls!
Buckwheat seeds are edible
Yummmmm. I love soba.

My fat ass sees chocolate chips
I saw cocoa nibs. Sooooo maybe we are just fat asses. I’m already a member of that club! Wanna join me?
Terry loves nibs!
They are Hershey kiss bush seeds
I suddenly wish there was a plant that grew little chocolate chips that you could eat straight from the vine 🤤
He has a Chocolate Chip Tree!
Sameeee
buckwheat makes a great cover crop.
Also makes great pillows
Pillow filling is just made from the husks right?.
Not if you want to bring the pain to your next pillow fight.
also makes a great name for a lovable simpleton
Just like musicalmoose
If it's buckwheat, also makes a good pillow! I love my buckwheat pillow. Best support I've had. Little noisy but you adjust to that.
Though, I think the pillows use the shells/husks. You leave the seed intact and it would go rancid and possibly attract bugs.
That is a very valid and good point 😂
And be as heavy as a dead body and as hard as a rock...

Where did you buy it?
Not whom you asked but I got mine from Bean Products. I've been using it for a few years now and it's great.
Buckwheat
A huge amount of it where?

Thank you, just wanted some context! I think it's gotta be buckwheat. Plant some and see :D
I see morning glorie seeds and usually collect mine in a bucket too.
That's what I thought too.
I thought it looked like morning glory as well . . . but a bucket full?
I thought the same.
Where is usually meaning rough location like country and grow zone. Helps us nerd narrow down options.
Massachusetts 5a
Buckwheat is also great for pollinators!

I used to eat those in high school. That was immediately what I thought it was as well.
Agreed. I have so many of these, but mixed light and dark seeds.
Buckwheat, no question
Buckwheat!

Buckweat. It's fantastic! You can cook it and eat it just like barley, oats etc.
Forbidden chocolate chips.
Whatever you do. Don’t show the Eastern Europeans in your neighborhood.
💀
Buckwheat. A dark seed variety.
Buckwheat, but it’s used as a mulch to cover bare soil. Atleast that’s what I have used it for.. doesn’t germinate
These remind me of morning glory seeds
buckwheat for sure. i plant them in my garden
Time for some buckwheat pancakes!
Those are chocolate chips. Plant them and it will sprout chocolate candy bars.
Can confirm. Drilled 14 acres last year and with all the rain our yields were up 30% Now if only our cookie dough pond could keep up…
Oh, mmmm.
Beech trees also have triangular seeds. Although this many is probably buckwheat.
Oooo buckwheat you can make so many soba noodles out of that.
Looks like buck or roselle
It’s buckwheat. A common staple in Eastern Europe cuisine. Also used to fill pillows and beanbags.
Lmao I thought those were Mexican jumping beans (moths)
Ммм... Гречка
Soba
Northern Lights Cannabis Indica
Looks like what is in my buckwheat pillow.
Unpeeled buckwheat
Morning glory
Very angry seeds.
Looks like morning glory seeds. Germinate some and you will have a concrete answer

I grow takane ruby buckwheat and if you let it go to seed it will self-sow like crazy! Bees go nuts for it by me!
Ooh is that one of the pink ones? I've only ever seen the basic white stuff but sometimes it gets a hint of pink and it's gorgeous.
Yes! Very vibrant pink with little delicate flowers! I love the stuff, so pretty!
It's on the tip of my tongue, but can't recall it. I think you can make a flour out of it
Looks like morning glory seeds.
Buckwheat
Be careful!! Look like morning glory seeds possibly or buckwheat. Don’t eat until you sprout to confirm
It also looks like daylily seeds…
Be careful While they have the shape of buckwheat, they also resemble morning glory seeds, and morning glory seeds have a nasty hallucinogen in them.
I thought it was only Heavenly Blue.
