Buckwheat refers to plants in two genera of the family Polygonaceae: the Eurasian genus Fagopyrum, and the North American genus Eriogonum. Conrad Moench ( 1744 - 1805) was a German Botanist, Professor of Botany at the Marburg University from 1786 until his death Polygonaceae is a family of flowering plants also known as the "knotweed family" or "smartweed family" The Genus Fagopyrum in the Flowering plant family Polygonaceae contains 15 to 16 species of plants including two important crop plants Eriogonum is the scientific name for a Genus of Flowering plants, in the family Polygonaceae. The crop plant, common buckwheat, is Fagopyrum esculentum. Tartary buckwheat (F. Tartar Buckwheat ( Fagopyrum tataricum) is a domesticated food Plant in the Genus Fagopyrum (sometimes merged into tataricum Gaertn. ) or "bitter buckwheat" is also used as a crop, but it is much less common. Despite the common name and the grain-like use of the crop, buckwheats are not grasses and are not related to wheat. Poaceae or Gramineae is a family in the Class Liliopsida of the flowering plants. Wheat ( Triticum spp is a worldwide cultivated grass from the Levant area of the Middle East. The agricultural weed known as Wild Buckwheat (Fallopia convolvulus) is in the same family, but not closely related to the crop species. Wild Buckwheat ( Fallopia convolvulus, syn Polygonum convolvulus L Within Fagopyrum, the cultivated species are in the cymosum group, with F. cymosum L. (perennial buckwheat), F. giganteum and F. homotropicum. [1] The wild ancestor of common buckwheat is F. esculentum ssp. ancestrale. F. homotropicum is interfertile with F. esculentum and the wild forms have a common distribution, in Yunnan. The wild ancestor of tartary buckwheat is F. tataricum ssp. potanini. [2]

Etymology

The name "buckwheat" or "beech wheat" comes from its triangular seeds, which resemble the much larger seeds of the beech nut from the beech tree, and the fact that it is used like wheat. For the babyfood see Beech-Nut. Beech ( Fagus) is a genus of ten Species of Deciduous Trees in the The etymology of the word is explained as partial translation of Middle Dutch boecweite : boek, beech; see PIE bhago- + weite, wheat.

Cultivation

Common buckwheat was domesticated and first cultivated in southeast Asia, possibly around 6000 BC, and from there spread to Europe and to Central Asia and Tibet. Central Asia is a region of Asia from the Caspian Sea in the west to central China in the east and from southern Russia in the north to northern Pakistan in the south Definitions of Tibet See also Definitions of Tibet Name In English The English word Tibet, like the word for Tibet in most European Domestication most likely took place in the western Yunnan region of China. [3] Buckwheat is documented in Europe in the Balkans by at least the Middle Neolithic (circa 4000 BC) and the oldest known remains in China so far date to circa 2600 BC, and buckwheat pollen has been found in Japan from as early as 4000 BC. The Neolithic (from Greek νεολιθικός — neolithikos from νέος neos, "new" + λίθος lithos It is the world's highest elevation domesticate, being cultivated in Yunnan on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau or on the Plateau itself. The Tibetan Plateau, also known as the Qinghai-Tibetan (Qingzang Plateau is a vast elevated Plateau in Central Asia covering most of the Tibet Autonomous Buckwheat was one of the earliest crops introduced by Europeans to North America. Dispersal around the globe was complete by 2006, when a variety developed in Canada was widely planted in China.

Buckwheat is a short season crop that does well on low-fertility or acidic soils, but the soil must be well drained. Too much fertilizer, especially nitrogen, will reduce yields. In hot climates, it can only be grown by sowing late in the season, so that it will bloom in cooler weather. The presence of pollinators greatly increases the yield. A pollinator is the biotic agent ( vector) that moves Pollen from the male Anthers of a Flower to the female stigma of a flower to accomplish The nectar from buckwheat flower makes a dark colored honey. Buckwheat is sometimes used as a green manure, as a plant for erosion control, or as wildlife cover and feed. In Agriculture, a green manure is a type of Cover crop grown primarily to add Nutrients and Organic matter to the Soil. Erosion is the carrying away or displacement of solids ( Sediment, Soil, rock and other particles usually by the agents of currents such as wind

Common buckwheat is by far the most important buckwheat species, economically, accounting for over 90% of the world's buckwheat production. A century ago, Russia was the world leader in buckwheat production. Russia (Россия Rossiya) or the Russian Federation ( Rossiyskaya Federatsiya) is a transcontinental Country extending [4] Growing areas in the Russian Empire were estimated at 6.

In the northeastern United States, buckwheat was a common crop in the 18th and 19th centuries. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Cultivation declined sharply in the 20th century due the use of nitrogen fertilizer, to which maize and wheat respond strongly. Over a million acres (4,000 km²) were harvested in the United States in 1918. By 1954 that had declined to 150,000 acres (600 km²), and by 1964, the last year that production statistics were gathered, only 50,000 acres (200 km²) were grown.

Besides the seeds, from which buckwheat flour is produced, buckwheat is also a good honey plant, producing a dark, strong monofloral honey. Honey is a sweet and Viscous fluid produced by Honey bees (and some other species and derived from the nectar of Flowers According to the Monofloral honey is a type of Honey which has a high value in the Marketplace because it has a distinctive flavor or other attribute due to its being predominantly

Buckwheat greens can be eaten. However, if consumed in sufficient quantities, the greens, or, more commonly, their juice, can induce sensitization of the skin to sunlight known as fagopyrism. [18] Fair skinned people are particularly susceptible, as are light pigmented livestock. Enthusiasts of sprouting, however, eat the very young buckwheat sprouts (four to five days of growth) for their subtle, nutty flavour and high nutritional value. Sprouting is the practice of soaking draining and then rinsing seeds at regular intervals until they Germinate, or sprout They are widely available in Japan.

Medicinal uses

Buckwheat contains rutin, a medicinal chemical that strengthens capillary walls, reducing hemorrhaging in people with high blood pressure and increasing microcirculation in people with chronic venous insufficiency. Rutin, also called rutoside, quercetin-3-rutinoside and sophorin, is a Citrus Flavonoid Glycoside found in Buckwheat Phytochemicals are plant-derived chemical compounds under scientific research for their potential health-promoting properties but with unproved benefits [19] Dried buckwheat leaves for tea were manufactured in Europe under the brand name "Fagorutin. "

Buckwheat contains D-chiro-inositol, a component of the secondary messenger pathway for insulin signal transduction found to be deficient in Type II diabetes and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). D-chiro-inositol (commonly abbreviated DCI) is a member of a family of related substances often referred to collectively as " Inositol," although that In Cell physiology, a secondary messenger system (also known as a second messenger system) is a method of cellular signaling whereby a diffusable signaling molecule Insulin is a Hormone with intensive effects on both metabolism and several other body systems (eg vascular compliance In Biology, signal transduction refers to any process by which a cell converts one kind of signal or stimulus into another Polycystic ovary syndrome abbreviated PCOS or PCO (also known clinically as Stein-Leventhal syndrome, Sclerocystic ovary syndrome, Hyperthecosis It is being studied for use in treating Type II diabetes. [20] Research on D-chiro-inositol and PCOS has shown promising results. [21][22]

A buckwheat protein has been found to bind cholesterol tightly. It is being studied for reducing plasma cholesterol in people with an excess of this compound. [23]

Upholstery filling

Buckwheat hulls are used as filling for a variety of upholstered goods, including pillows and zafu. Upholstery is the work of providing Furniture, especially seats with Padding, springs Webbing, and fabric or Leather A pillow is a large Cushion support for the head, usually used while Sleeping in a Bed, or for the body as used on a Couch or A zafu (座蒲 in Japanese or 蒲团 in Chinese is a round cushion about 35 cm (14 inches in diameter and often about 20 cm (8 inches high when fluffed The hulls are durable and do not conduct or reflect heat as much as synthetic fills. They are sometimes marketed as an alternative natural fill to feathers for those with allergies.

Medical studies to measure the health effects of buckwheat hull pillows have been performed. [24][25]

Buckwheat and beer

In recent years, buckwheat has been used as a substitute for other grain in gluten free beer. Gluten-free beer is Beer made from ingredients without Glycoproteins ( Gluten) that for people with a variety of medical conditions cause an Buckwheat is used in the same way as barley to produce a malt that can form the basis of a mash that will brew a beer without gliadin or hordein (together gluten) and therefore can be suitable for coeliacs or others sensitive to certain glycoproteins. Barley ( Hordeum vulgare) is an annual Cereal Grain, which serves as a major animal Feed crop, with smaller amounts used for Malting is a process applied to Cereal grains in which the grains are made to Germinate by soaking in water and are then quickly halted from germinating further In Brewing and Distilling, mashing is the process of combining a mix of milled Grain (typically Malted Barley with supplementary Beer is the world's oldest and most widely consumed Alcoholic beverage and the third most popular drink overall after water and tea Gliadin is a Glycoprotein present in Wheat and several other Cereals within the grass genus Triticum. Hordein is a Glycoprotein, present in Barley and some other Cereals together with Gliadin and other glycoproteins as Gluten. Gluten is a composite of the proteins Gliadin and Glutenin. These exist conjoined with Starch, in the Endosperms of some Coeliac Not to be confused with Peptidoglycan. Glycoproteins are proteins that contain Oligosaccharide chains ( Glycans) covalently attached [26]

Festivals

The buckwheat plant is celebrated in Kingwood, West Virginia at their Buckwheat Festival where people can participate in swine, cow, and sheep judging contests, vegetable contests, and craft fairs. Kingwood is a city in and the County seat of Preston County, West Virginia, United States, and is part of the Pittsburgh DMA. The area fire departments also play an important role in the series of parades that occur there. Each year there is a King and Lady Fireman elected. Also there are many rides and homemade, homegrown buckwheat cakes and sausage.

In Hinduism, people eat items made of buckwheat flour in the fasting days. There are many great recipies available varying all over India. People in Rajasthan and Maharashtra call this KUTTU KA ATTA.
