Thank you all for your responses!!!
The Food Scientist- So it has been roasted you said, how was it roasted? What was that time and temperature? Do you perform product testing? I worked at a nuts and seeds roasting company before, we sent many samples to a lab to help us do a validation study in the proper time and temperature with regards to log reduction of pathogens.
The temp is 250 C/482 F for approx. 5 minutes. Test results for the roasted buckwheat (kasha):
