Hi BWH,
Would you please say something about the air-vacuuming and gravity-cleaning process you use for your hulls?
I’m curious because I heard somewhere a recommendation to buy hulls that are roasted to ensure optimal cleanliness. But, I will add that I received my 18lb sack of hulls and the quality seems just fine, quite clean!
Thank you
Buckwheat1 says:
Hello! Our hulls are cleaned by a method which involves heat and spinning. They are tumbled in a cleaning unit similar to a large, industrial dryer. As the hulls are spun and heated any extra fiber is pulled away. The grower who supplies us with the products has indicated that this cleaning process for the hulls is done in three stages to ensure the highest quality. Thanks for the inquiry!
Cora May says:
Hi, I was wondering if buckwheat hulls are the same as buckwheat mulch and if not what is the difference. Thanks, Cora
Buckwheat1 says:
Hello Cora,
I am not absolutely certain, but believe that buckwheatw mulch is typically just the buckwheat hulls. We have had other customers purchase the hulls to use as mulch. Seven Arrows Farms is one of the sources of information we have used in the past. Basically the hulls are the remaining outside “skins” when the seeds have been removed. Not sure how much this has helped you.

10 pounds of buckwheat seeds ships in a box measuring 10x10x6″ and fills it to capacity.

I purchased from you in 2009 and loved my pillow so much. We had a mishap recently & my old pillow was ruined. I tried using 2 different pillows & I haven’t slept right since. Can’t wait for my new buckwheat filling to arrive so I can get a good night’s sleep!
Just wanted to say I love your product, and the fact that you employ handicapped people. I used to work in a hotel that employed handicapped people in the laundry, and it was a wonderful program for all of us.
And to anyone griping about shipping fees, yours is the best price including s & h out there. I researched thoroughly before making my purchase in 2009 & checked again today & yours is still the best final price by far.
Buckwheat1 says:
Thanks, Marcie, for the kind words. The original owner of the company passed it on to us at Life Experiences. We employ over 50 individuals with a variety of developmental disabilities and it truly is an amazing place! Lindsay is the daughter of the owner…she is the reason the business came to be!
Thanks! Lynn
