Hello Jim,
I don't know whether you mentioned this somewhere on your site, but I wanted to send you this link in case you ignore it :

It seems that after having received this information Brian Clement of the Hippocrates Institute has eliminated the buckwheat greens in this Center and it has been said that in fact several persons had "sun sensitivy" in the Dr Ann center when she was still alive, but nobody knew why at this time, and this happened probably because the consumption of these greens was very big there, as this doesn't seem to happen with a "time to time" consumption.
I think however that it should be better to mention this caution each time that buckwheat greens are used in a recipe.
Best regards,

The surprising
answer is a clear and unequivocal YES. Due to the growing
popularity of sprouts in general, and a widespread
ignorance as to the toxic dangers posed by buckwheat greens
specifically, many people are today suffering
unnecessarily. In this article I will describe the toxic
effects of ingesting buckwheat greens, and I will answer
the question of why they are toxic to humans. I will also
provide a brief synopsis of what is currently known about
this painful phenomenon. And finally, I will recount my own
anecdotal experience with buckwheat greens.

Does this include ANY sprouted buckwheat or just buckwheat greens?
