Fagopyrum tataricum, also known as Tartary buckwheat, is a domesticated food plant in the Polygonaceae family. It is often considered a cereal, but is not closely related to true cereals. This plant is more bitter and contains more rutin than common buckwheat, and also contains other beneficial components such as flavonoids and phenolic acids. It was domesticated in East Asia and is now cultivated in Europe and North America. While it is not well-known in the West, it is a common food in the Himalayan region and parts of Southwest China. Fagopyrum tataricum has also been found to contain aromatic substances, with a notable difference from common buckwheat being the absence of salicylaldehyde and presence of naphthalene. However, when found among other crops, it is considered a weed.
