Food] Re: Buckwheat - no fruit

Hello Judy and Don:

 

I have grown buckwheat for years there is no fruit around the seed just a

hard brown hull in a tetrahedron -- four triangular sides - (and I have

eaten the sprouts in small quantities) many people transitioning to RF make

a cereal

from the sprouted hulled buckwheat. I used organic whole buckwheat from

Azure Standard for my seeds.

Thank you Bill! Yes, buckwheat is the seed of an herb, often mistaken for a

grain. It is not related to fruit, etymologically speaking. Buckwheat is

classified as follows:

 

PHYLUM AND SUBPHYLUM - MAGNOLIOPHYTA,

CLASS AND SUBCLASS - MAGNOLIOPSIDA,

ORDER AND SUBORDER - POLYGONALES,

FAMILY AND SUBFAMILY - POLYGONACEAE, or Polygonales

___

POLYGONALES: An order of flowering plants, division Magnoliophyta

(Angiospermae), in the subclass Caryophyllidae of the class Magnoliopsida

(dicotyledons). The order consists only of the family Polygonaceae, with

about 800 species, most abundant in north temperate regions (see illus.).

Within its subclass the order is characterized by its well-developed

endosperm; an ovary with but one chamber (unilocular), mostly tricarpellate

with a single basal ovule which is usually straight and has the micropyle at

the opposite end from the stalk (orthotropous); the flowers are often

trimerous, that is, with floral parts in sets of three, and usually two or

three sets of stamens. Rhubarb (Rheum rhaponticum) and buckwheat (Fagopyrum

esculentum) are familiar members of the Polygonales

The very young green sprout is as any of the popular very young green

sprouts, fine to eat if you enjoy eating it. The sprout is by far preferable

to the seed from a nutritional perspective, as would always be the case with

any young green.

 

Best to all,

Elchanan
