Abstract:Tartary buckwheat possesses both medicinal and nutritional value, serving diverse roles in culinary and therapeutic applications. China is the global leader in Tartary buckwheat cultivation, with the largest planting area and highest yield. As an important food crop, Tartary buckwheat presents strong potential for future agricultural development. Tartary buckwheat contains a variety of nutrients and bioactive ingredients, including polysaccharides, proteins, selenium, phytosterols, flavonoids and polyphenols. These compounds exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, hypolipidemic, antidiabetic, and liver-protective effects, highlighting the potential of Tartary buckwheat highly promising for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In recent years, Tartary buckwheat has emerged as a prominent subject of research at both national and international levels. However, systematic research on the bioactive components and nutritional benefits of Tartary buckwheat remains limited. This paper reviews relevant domestic and international literature, offering an overview of the active components, nutritional benefits, and current food applications of Tartary buckwheat, aiming is to provide a theoretical foundation for the comprehensive development and utilization of Tartary buckwheat.
