The nutritional ingredients in buck wheat are more abundant than the general

wheat flour. Niacin plays an important role in the metabolic process of protein,
fat and sugar so as to sustain our normal function of nerve system, fat and
skin. The magnesium content in buckwheat is one time higher than that in rice
and wheat. Magnesium can promote the fibrinolysis to dilate blood vessels,
restrain the thrombin generation thus preventing thrombus generation. Moreover,
buckwheat contains abundant dietary fiber, which is 10 times as high as that in
the refined rice.

The rutin content in Fagopyrum esculentum Moench is generally between 0.02% to
0.798% and Fagopyrum tataricm Gaertn is within 1.08%~6.6%. Recent medial
researches prove that the rutin in buckwheat is flavonoids compound and has

kind of compounds plays an important role in the metabolism of glucose and cells
signal transmission.
