LATIN NAME: Fagopyrum esculentum

COMMON NAME: Buckwheat

The buckwheat fills the field with the small, white flower heads, then the triangular seeds ripen in the brown clusters. The upright, fast-growing, annual plant carries the heart-shaped or triangular, dark-green leaves and the loose clusters of the small, white or pink-tinged flowers through the summer, one of the fine, bright sights of the warm field, drawing the bees in the numbers, to be followed by the small, three-angled, brown seeds. The seeds have a very long record as the fine, hardy grain of the old tables, and the plant is a fine, historic presence of the field. It is a plant of the open, sunny, well-drained ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The buckwheat is a historic subject of the plant science, and the triangular seeds keep showing up in the work on the hardy grains. The way the small, three-angled, brown seeds form in the loose clusters has been studied closely, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the hardy grains, the gluten-free crops and the members of the knotweed family. The heart-shaped leaves and the fast habit have also made it a fine study plant, and the buckwheat is a regular subject of the work on the triangular seeds of the cool world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The buckwheat is a fine, historic plant of the field and the kitchen garden. The small, three-angled, brown seeds have a very long record as the fine, hardy grain of the old tables, the hulled seeds coming to the porridges, the pancakes and the fine, dark noodles of the old kitchens, while the loose clusters of the small, white or pink-tinged flowers open through the summer, drawing the bees in the numbers. The plant comes up fast from the sowing and feeds the soil, and it is one of the fine choices for the field, the bee patch and the study collection. It has been written up in the culinary and the agricultural papers for the triangular seeds and the very long history, and it is a fine, historic plant of the open, sunny, well-drained garden.

Sow in the late spring for the warm-season heads, and the seeds will ripen in the late summer.

Sow in the late spring for the warm-season heads, and the seeds will ripen in the late summer.

To grow the buckwheat from seed, sow the small, triangular seeds just below the surface in the row of fine, moist soil, keep the row in a bright, open spot and water gently. The seedlings are up within a week or two and grow on fast. With the sun and the well-drained ground, the white heads will fill the field through the summer.

Uses: Culinary/Medicinal
medicinal value. The infusion made from the flowering tops is high in rutin which combats arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries and veins).
