Thank you Debbie...It has a funny smell to it and is sort of triangle in shape. Rummy searches these out along with the dried gooseberries.

I used to sprout them for the finches, it's the only way they would eat them and boy did they go for them.

I agree, looks like a dark buckwheat. Glad Rummy likes them

I don't know if you have tops supermarket in Florida, but it has bins of seed that can be scooped and bagged by you and you weigh it

Dante,
Tops? Never heard of that store. Is it an healthfood or organic type store?

I got mine from a farm seed catalog, it's a cover crop. Hancock seed sells it as well as many others, just do a buckwheat seed web search.

No, it is a large supermarket here. But I have not been innside one in a while. It is gross. I prefer walmart.
