The common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) plant is a pseudo-cereal grown for its unique ability to out-compete other plants for sun, soil, and water. It packs these nutrients into leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits. The fruits are a grain-like staple, and juice from the plant material contains essential nutrients and bioactive compounds.
