1.Sichuan, China - The Hometown of Tartary Buckwheat

Tartary buckwheat, also known as buckwheat, originated in China. Its cultivation history can be traced back to over 2,000 years ago, and it was widely planted in the Tang Dynasty.

The Compendium of Materia Medica records that it has the effects of "strengthening the spleen and stomach, invigorating the qi and nourishing the spirit". Modern research has confirmed that it has the functions of lowering blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar, antioxidation and anti-inflammation.

2.Why does Chinese Tartary Buckwheat Stand Out?

Tartary buckwheat mainly grows in the mountainous areas of southwestern China, including Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, Yunnan, Guizhou, Shaanxi and Shanxi. These high-altitude regions, with an altitude of over 2,000 meters, have large day-night temperature differences, intense ultraviolet radiation and no pollution, which are conducive to the formation of nutrients such as rutin and flavonoids in it.

Although Japan, Russia and the United States also grow kukui, the varieties cultivated in China are renowned for their excellent quality and have earned the title of "Oriental Herb".
