Buckwheat (Fagopyrum Mill) is not a cereal but a pseudo-cereal and, botanically speaking, belongs to the knotweed family. The plant has been cultivated for over 4,000 years, originally in China and Japan. Today, Russia and China are among the largest growing regions. Buckwheat is rich in vital nutrients, high-quality minerals and alkaline-forming compounds. It is particularly valued for its easily digestible protein and its gluten-free properties.

In the food industry, buckwheat is used as a versatile grain substitute. The hulled seeds are processed into groats, semolina or flour, which are used in porridges, soups, pasta and baked goods. Buckwheat is also used in food supplements and animal feed.
