Fagopyrum tataricum, also known as Tartary buckwheat,[2] green buckwheat,[3] ku qiao,[3] Tatar buckwheat,[citation needed] or bitter buckwheat,[4] is a domesticated food plant in the genus Fagopyrum in the family Polygonaceae.[5][6][7] With another species in the same genus, common buckwheat, it is often counted as a cereal, but the buckwheats are not closely related to true cereals.

Tartary buckwheat is more bitter and contains more rutin than common buckwheat. It also contains other bioactive components such as flavonoids, phenolic acids,[6] 2-hydroxybenzylamine and quercitrin.[8]
