Buckwheat hull refers to the outer shell of buckwheat.

Buckwheat is an annual herbaceous plant. Buckwheat husks are the peel of buckwheat, a plant belonging to the family Polygonaceae and the genus Buckwheat. They are currently in the shape of a triangle and are dark brown in color. Buckwheat pillow can be regarded as the most traditional pillow. Its advantage is that the pillow core is moderately soft and hard, and has moderate elasticity. It is suitable for all kinds of people and ages, and is suitable for both winter and summer.

After thousands of years of spread and cultivation, buckwheat is cultivated in Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, and Oceania all over the world except Antarctica. The carbohydrates in buckwheat are mainly starch. Because the particles are smaller, they are easier to cook, easier to digest, and easier to process than other cereals. Buckwheat rice has a rough texture, so you should add some rice when cooking to make it smoother and softer.

Growing habits of buckwheat

Buckwheat likes a cool and humid climate, is intolerant of high temperatures, drought, and strong winds, is afraid of frost, likes sunshine, and needs more water. Prefers loose, well-drained neutral to slightly acidic loam. The suitable growth temperature is 15-28℃. Moisture has an important influence on buckwheat growth. The study found that as soil moisture decreased, the number of main stem branches, number of grains per plant, and 100-grain weight of tartary buckwheat all showed a downward trend.

By studying the effects of different water treatments on the botany properties and yield of tartary buckwheat, it was found that the plant height and number of main stem nodes continued to decrease with the increase in soil moisture, and the grains per plant of tartary buckwheat continued to decrease. The number, grain weight per plant and yield are all highest when the moisture treatment is 20%. Too much or too little moisture will reduce the yield of tartary buckwheat.
