going to also place this in the wheat-free/gluten-free thread.

may you find something of use in the article.

Modern Researches:
Buckwheat contains about 60 percent carbohydrates, 11 percent protein, 2 percent fat, 15 percent fibre, magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, iron, small amounts of vitamins B1, B2, nicotine acid, etc.

The leaves and shoots of the flowering plants are acrid, astringent and vasodilator (an agent that induces or initiates vasodilation, the widening of the lumen of blood vessels). They are used internally in the treatment of high blood pressure, gout, varicose veins, chilblains, radiation damage, etc.

They are best used in conjunction with vitamin C since this aids absorption. Often combined with lime flowers (Tilia species), it is a specific treatment for haemorrhage into the retina.

Buckwheat also contains three types of health protection elements. First, buckwheat has all eight essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be consumed; these are Leucine, Isoleucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophen and Valine. In addition, buckwheat contains a very important flavone called Rutin. It is of the same class as Quercetin in onion and celery. The third type is D-Chiro-Inositol (DCI), short for Inositol, which has been shown to lower blood sugar quickly in patients with hyperglycemia. DCI has also been shown for cases of female who have suffered from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome to regain the ability to ovulate (see John E. Nestler, Daniela J. Jakubowicz, Paula Reamer, Ronald D. Gunn and Geoffrey Allan, "Ovulatory and Metabolic Effects of d-Chiro-Inositol in the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome," New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 340, No. 17 (April 29, 1999), pp. 1,314-1,320.)

A blue dye is obtained from the stems.

A brown dye is obtained from the flowers.

take care
