Buckwheat is the fruit seed of a plant originally from Asia and is known for driving the evil away from homes. It is also very attractive for bees which can produce a special kind of honey, dark colored and strong flavored. In ancient times witches would use buckwheat to draw circles in aid of their rituals. For this reason in Eastern cultures, buckwheat is a symbol of propriety and a defender of it. Buckwheat is part of the Polygonaceae family. Scientifically it is named bitter buckwheat, and is both an aliment and a herb with healing characteristics. Buckwheat contains linoleic acid, vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, E, P), essential amino acids, minerals - chromium, copper, manganese, folic acid - and is an excellent source of magnesium. These proprieties recommend buckwheat as having a pronounced Yang feature. It has anti-tumor and tonic effects.
