Organic sprouted buckwheat - activated and dehydrated at 42°C
Do you like buckwheat but aren't quite sure how to incorporate it into your daily routine? Are you looking to consume it raw, without cooking, without having the time to sprout it yourself? Honestly, that's exactly why we created this product.
Our sprouted buckwheat is activated in very pure and energized water, then dehydrated at 42°C. You get small sprouted grains, crunchy and ready to consume - to slip in everywhere, in sweet as well as savory dishes.
🌱 Dehydrated sprouted buckwheat or sprouting seeds: what's the difference ?
This product is already activated, sprouted, then dried : no preparation, it is enjoyed as is. If you prefer to sprout your grains yourself, discover our... buckwheat seeds for sprouting. Concretely, the two complement each other: one for spontaneity, the other for the pleasure of cultivating one's own sprouter.
🌱 What is activation ?
It is the soaking of seeds or nuts that awakens dormant enzymatic activity and initiates germination. This process makes vitamins and minerals more bioavailable and reduces phytic acid as well as enzyme inhibitors—compounds that can hinder digestion and the absorption of trace elements. However, homemade activated seeds only keep for a few days in the refrigerator: we therefore dehydrate them at low temperatures to combine activation power, optimal preservation, and crunchy texture. To go further: why sprout your seeds and What is a bioactive diet?.
Activated buckwheat is thus a Awakened seed, on the way to germination :
- reserve lipids are broken down into more assimilable fatty acids ;
- reserve proteins in more bioavailable amino acids ;
- complex sugars into simpler sugars that are easier to assimilate.
🌱 How to use sprouted buckwheat ? Here are some ideas:
- in Topping crunchy on a yogurt (plant-based or not), a porridge, or a compote ;
- in a muesli or raw granola, mixed with dried fruits ;
- to add crunchiness to a salad, a buckwheat tabbouleh or a cold soup ;
- in raw pastries, in energy bars, or crackers.
🌱 Focus on buckwheat
Buckwheat (or "black wheat") is not a cereal: it is the seed of a flowering plant.Fagopyrum esculentum), from the sorrel family. Originally from Asia, it has been used for millennia in various forms: buckwheat pancakes in Brittany, Soba noodles in Japan, and kasha in Russia. Its cultivation is also beneficial for the soil: in organic farming, it is used to suppress weeds and enrich the soil with phosphorus. Naturally gluten-free and peanut-free, it is an interesting alternative for people intolerant to gluten.
Process: osmotically and dynamically treated water bath for 6 hours, then dehydration for 20 hours at 42°C.

🌱 The benefits of activation
Enzyme inhibitors prevent seeds from germinating until conditions are favorable, which allows nuts and seeds to be stored for a long time. Once ingested, however, they can slow down certain digestive enzymatic functions. We are born with a supply of enzymes that declines with age; consuming raw activated foods is a way to provide the body with seeds whose inhibitors have been neutralized by soaking. For further reading: the role of enzymes in the body.
Phytic acid binds to minerals such as calcium, zinc, magnesium, and iron, which can limit their absorption. Sprouting activates the phytase, the enzyme that degrades phytic acid and thus improves the bioavailability of minerals (scientific journal, 2018). A study specifically conducted on buckwheat shows that during germination, the content of phytic acid and trypsin inhibitor decreases, while proteins, phenols, and flavonoids increase. (Zhang et al., J. Food Science, 2015).
🌱 The main nutritional benefits of buckwheat
• Source of protein : Buckwheat provides most of the essential amino acids in good proportions, particularly lysine, which is often limiting in cereals. Proteins make up about 10 to 13% of its dry weight. (review, 2023).
• Naturally gluten-free : an excellent alternative for people who are intolerant or celiac.
• Rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds Buckwheat is particularly rich in flavonoids (rutin, quercetin, orientin, vitexin...) and phenolic acids - with a content significantly higher than that of wheat or corn. (review, 2025). Rutin, which is predominant in the seed, is the subject of numerous research studies.
• A low glycemic index Buckwheat is known for its relatively low glycemic index and contains a portion of resistant starch, which is fermented in the colon rather than digested in the small intestine. Some of its compounds (polyphenols, inositol) are being researched for their effects on glucose metabolism, with results still primarily observed in laboratory settings.
• Rich in fiber : Buckwheat seeds are naturally rich in fiber, including a portion of insoluble fiber.
• Rich in magnesium, a source of minerals and vitamins : magnesium, phosphorus, copper, manganese, zinc, vitamins B1, B3, and B9. Magnesium notably contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps reduce fatigue*.
* Magnesium contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps reduce fatigue, as part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Based in Brittany, in Ploemeur, Armand puts all his energy into producing super healthy and super tasty raw foods. He tries to source his ingredients from Brittany (such as seaweed, hemp, or spirulina) and works with local partners for products that come from afar. Naturally, an exclusive collaboration was formed with Biovie. Armand explains his journey to you:
"I became interested in living foods early in my life, in my twenties, after reading the book: "Biogenic Life" by Edmond Szekely."
At that time, I was practicing yoga intensively and aspired to understand the principles of a harmonious diet. I was passionate about the activation and germination of seeds.
After several Ayurvedic stays in South India, I became particularly interested in the body's potential for regeneration. Following health issues experienced by family members, I sought solutions to help them reform their diet. This experience motivated me to create raw food compositions to facilitate the transition to a living diet; a cornerstone for a return to health.
There are multiple ways to benefit from good nutritional intake, and I wanted to gather the main recommendations and simplify their use through preparations concentrated in nutrients and active ingredients. I create blends that allow for the simple preparation of instant mixes to be combined with raw fruits and vegetables, facilitating the transition to a living diet.
My 7 years of experience as a restaurateur have allowed me to acquire the skills to create a food production laboratory. I develop my recipes with precision, and the pursuit of taste and texture is obviously at the very heart of my approach.
I regularly host workshops in my laboratory on plant-based milks, sprouted seeds, and lacto-fermentation.
