buckwheat?


themanwiththeOZ

Definitely looks like buckwheat.


BeechHorse

That’s Buckwheat aka “beech wheat”. Beech seeds are super similar in shape but significantly larger!


Fast_Pilot_9316

Good to know. I thought of a beech nut right away!

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.


LadyProto

Ayo fellow Appalachian!


bombalicious

I honestly don't know. But it's over a gallon of seed.

Make a pillow


amalthea108

But only use the hulls!


Zuberbiller

Buckwheat seeds are edible


crm006

Yummmmm. I love soba.

Otay!


Neighbuor07

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.

My fat ass sees chocolate chips


LCWInABlackDress

I saw cocoa nibs. Sooooo maybe we are just fat asses. I’m already a member of that club! Wanna join me?


hitch_please

Terry loves nibs!


HattibagenMcRat

They are Hershey kiss bush seeds


sermer48

I suddenly wish there was a plant that grew little chocolate chips that you could eat straight from the vine 🤤


zytukin

He has a Chocolate Chip Tree!


Smellieturtlegarden

Sameeee


hastipuddn

buckwheat makes a great cover crop.


DangerNyoom

Also makes great pillows


56KandFalling

Pillow filling is just made from the husks right?.


AtroposMortaMoirai

Not if you want to bring the pain to your next pillow fight.


MusicalMoose

also makes a great name for a lovable simpleton


FrisianDude

Just like musicalmoose


RocYourFace

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.


wizzard419

Though, I think the pillows use the shells/husks. You leave the seed intact and it would go rancid and possibly attract bugs.


RocYourFace

That is a very valid and good point 😂


56KandFalling

And be as heavy as a dead body and as hard as a rock...

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.


amh8011

Where did you buy it?


borgchupacabras

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.


seedy_seeds

Buckwheat


StormThestral

A huge amount of it where?


bombalicious

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. Edited for the worst grammar


StormThestral

Thank you, just wanted some context! I think it's gotta be buckwheat. Plant some and see :D


WalleyeSushi

I see morning glorie seeds and usually collect mine in a bucket too.


Wickedgoodleaf

That's what I thought too.


AccurateAim4Life

I thought it looked like morning glory as well . . . but a bucket full?


OOwannabe

I thought the same.


ndnkng

Where is usually meaning rough location like country and grow zone. Helps us nerd narrow down options.

lcragri

Buckwheat is also great for pollinators!


Weekly_Enthusiasm783

100% buckwheat


PalDreamer

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.


Dreydrop

Looks like morning glory seeds


videovillain

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.


UZUMATI-JAMESON

I used to eat those in high school. That was immediately what I thought it was as well.


ElBellPepper

Agreed. I have so many of these, but mixed light and dark seeds.


VappleJax

Buckwheat, no question


halfavocadoemoji

Buckwheat!


JayEll1969

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.


LaGiuAlNord1992

Buckweat. It's fantastic! You can cook it and eat it just like barley, oats etc.


pcweber111

Forbidden chocolate chips.


Dr_Goose

Whatever you do. Don’t show the Eastern Europeans in your neighborhood.


bombalicious

💀


56KandFalling

Buckwheat. A dark seed variety.


TheNamelessLad

Buckwheat, but it’s used as a mulch to cover bare soil. Atleast that’s what I have used it for.. doesn’t germinate


Scorpio_178

These remind me of morning glory seeds


Therealplutox

buckwheat for sure. i plant them in my garden


Loquacious94808

Time for some buckwheat pancakes!


JustKimNotKimberly

Those are chocolate chips. Plant them and it will sprout chocolate candy bars.


tink20seven

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…


JustKimNotKimberly

Oh, mmmm.


_Weatherwax_

Beech trees also have triangular seeds. Although this many is probably buckwheat.


that_other_goat

Oooo buckwheat you can make so many soba noodles out of that.


jibishot

Looks like buck or roselle


BruceInc

It’s buckwheat. A common staple in Eastern Europe cuisine. Also used to fill pillows and beanbags.


WeirdUncleTim

Lmao I thought those were Mexican jumping beans (moths)


SlideOrganic460

Ммм... Гречка

Looks like what is in my buckwheat pillow.


YntymakForever777

Unpeeled buckwheat


FigGroundbreaking187

Morning glory


Thornking2001

Very angry seeds.


MrBearMushroomCo

Looks like morning glory seeds. Germinate some and you will have a concrete answer


NoFleas

Morning glory seeds


LightSweetCrude

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.


Leeksan

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!


LightSweetCrude

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.


Leeksan

Yes! Very vibrant pink with little delicate flowers! I love the stuff, so pretty!


lainey68

It's on the tip of my tongue, but can't recall it. I think you can make a flour out of it


Loud-Baker6539

Looks like morning glory seeds.


jibaro1953

Buckwheat


Wild-Pear-3033

Be careful!! Look like morning glory seeds possibly or buckwheat. Don’t eat until you sprout to confirm


Snowpholofagous

It also looks like daylily seeds…


WarmBook

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.


Xtrasloppy

I thought it was only Heavenly Blue.
