• There are two species of Chinese buckwheat, common buckwheat (CB) and Tartary Buckwheat (TB), cultivated in China. CB is native to the north of China, being cultivated before the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420–581 AD). However, TB grows and is widely cultivated in the southwest of China, since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. During the last 20 years, 45 varieties or species of buckwheat have been examined and approved by national or provincial committees. Buckwheat can be planted in different rotation systems with other crops such as bean, potato, and sweet potato. The planting areas of buckwheat in China are mostly thinly populated with poor soil, cold weather, and locked traffic. Recently, with improvements in living standards, people have come to realize the unique nutritive value of buckwheat, making the demand for buckwheat produce increase rapidly.
