Buckwheat is an erect annual herb grown worldwide for its edible seed, which is used like cereal grains such as wheat or maize. For that reason, buckwheat grain is classified among the cereal grains even though it is from the Polygonaceae family and not from the Poaceae (grasses) family like proper cereals. As its composition is close to that of cereals, buckwheat grain can be used as feed for all classes of farm animals.
