| | germinated buckwheat | Explanation:
I would use "buckwheat" for そば. Buckwheat is the ingredient in soba noodles (with soba meaning "buckwheat).
Germinated buckwheat seems to have health benefits. You'll see many websites on the subject. Below are sentences with the word "germinated buckwheat."
Korean researchers even found that germinated buckwheat has potent
anti-fatty liver activities in an animal study. When an ethanol extract of
germinated buckwheat was fed daily to mice at 100 or 200 mg/kg body wt,
along with a high-fat diet, oral administration of germinated buckwheat
caused significant reductions in triglyceride and total cholesterol levels in
the liver after 8 weeks. Oral administration of germinated buckwheat also
down-regulated mRNA expressions of PPARgamma and C/EBPalpha in
hepatocytes, in a dose-dependent manner.
