Hi folks, anyone know the PPG and Lovibond numbers for unmalted buckwheat groats (such as Bob's Red Mill)? I'm going to try this for the first time to improve head retention and body of the beer. I want to plug this ingredient into my recipe and these values are typically required.

Searching around I see someone posted 20PPG: and 10L but both seem to me to be on the high side:

I was thinking that 5PPG would be a good guess, and 5L would be conservative L
