Drain the water carefully. Spread the buckwheat evenly over the bottom and sides of the bowl. Cover the container with a lid so that the air supply does not stop. Leave buckwheat for 12-20 hours in a dark place.

Every 12-14 hours they usually change the water, making sure that the buckwheat does not dry out, but also not leaving more than the level of water after the first soaking.
