Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), also known as Common Buckwheat, Japanese Buckwheat and Silverhull Buckwheat, is a plant cultivated for itsgrain-like seeds and as a cover crop. A related and more bitter species, Fagopyrum tataricum, a domesticated food plant common in Asia, butnot as common in Europe or North America, is also referred to as buckwheat.

Despite the name, Buckwheat is not related to wheat, as it is not a grass. Instead, Buckwheat is related to Sorrel, Knotweed, and Rhubarb.Because its seeds are rich in complex carbohydrates, it is referred to as a Pseudocereal.

The cultivation of Buckwheat Grain declined sharply in the *0th century with the adoption of nitrogen fertilizer that increased theproductivity of other staples.
