kasha is roasted buckwheat. Buckwheat groats are raw buckwheat with hulls removed.
From what I've read, the fagopyrin is only there once the sprout grows into a green (buckwheat lettuce). I've eaten loads of sprouted buckwheat (with just a little tail) and never had any adverse reaction.

I know I got really sick once my eyes burned and hives after eating 1 lb an dthen 1/2 lb later

Just a reminder, sprouted buckwheat can be dangerous, soaking is okay but sprouting can cause buckwheat groats to release a toxin called fagopyrin, which can lead to pink rashes and sunlight sensitivity. http://www.gillesarbour.com/buckwheat.php

Dear k8lyn07,
Do you use buckwheat with the hull off it, or unhulled?
And, how do you sprout hulled buckwheat?
Thanks a bundle :)
