Buckwheat, a member of the Fagopyrum genus in the Polygonaceae family, is an ancient pseudocereal with noteworthy nutraceutical properties that have been relatively less explored. This crop holds great promise for the future due to its gluten-free protein, wellbalanced amino acid profile, and the presence of bioactive flavonoids that promote good health. With its gluten-free nature and a combination of beneficial nutritional components, buckwheat shows significant potential for a variety of health benefits. The objective of the present review aims to explore various nutritional and pharmacological properties of buckwheat. With the help of various search engines such as, Pubmed, Google and Semantic Scholar, research and review papers were carefully investigated and summarized in a comprehensive review. A fascinating spectrum of nutritional and pharmacological activities of common buckwheat and Tartary buckwheat were explored such as antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, neurological disorders, antiobesity, anticancer, cardiovascular agents and many more. This review provides a concise overview of the current understanding of the chemical composition of both common buckwheat and Tartary buckwheat and the captivating spectrum of pharmacological activity and also underscoring their immense potential for future advancements.
荞麦是蓼科荞麦属的一种古老的伪谷物，具有值得关注的营养特性，但尚未得到充分探索。由于荞麦不含麸质的蛋白质、氨基酸组成均衡，以及存在促进健康的生物活性类黄酮，这种作物具有广阔的前景。荞麦具有无麸质特性和多种有益营养成分的组合，显示出对各种健康益处的显著潜力。本综述的目的是探讨荞麦的各种营养和药理特性。借助 Pubmed、Google 和 Semantic Scholar 等各种搜索引擎，仔细研究和总结了研究和综述论文，并在综合综述中进行了总结。探索了普通荞麦和苦荞麦的一系列令人着迷的营养和药理活性，如抗糖尿病、抗炎、神经紊乱、抗肥胖、抗癌、心血管药物等。本综述简要概述了普通荞麦和苦荞麦的化学成分以及引人入胜的药理活性谱，并强调了它们在未来发展中的巨大潜力。
