Pea greens are delicious sauteed very quickly with garlic in
extremely hot oil.

Here's a webpage I found where you could order wheatgrass, various
greens (including pea greens) or seeds and trays for growing your own
pea greens:

WOW! They charge $17.50 for 5 lbs of buckwheat. That's
$3.50/lb.


Yes that is kind of expensive.

I just bought buckwheat seeds for use as a cover crop. I
paid $0.57/lb. It would have been less if I'd bought a
large quantity, but I only needed a couple of pounds. I
bought it from Agway (farm and feed store).

But even if you bought buckwheat, wheat, and sunflower seeds
from natural food stores - or online natural-food sellers -
it would be an awful lot less than the prices on that site.

Online natural food sellers: http://www.barryfarm.com
http://www.bulkfoods.com

There are of course others as well.

I don't know how much the seed-houses charge for pea seed by
the pound. I saw it in a local Agway and IIRC it was about
$1/lb. (I can't remember for sure.)
