[edit] Distinguish between plant and fruit/seed? (May apply to other plants too)
Is there a need to distinguish between the PLANT and its fruit? I wanted to learn about the food and got a lot of botanical stuff.
(May apply to other plants too)
[edit] Need to locate geographically? (May apply to other plants too)
Can people locate where things grow geographically? (I assume this food grows in the USA - not sure if it is in Europe too.)

[edit] Convert to Islam
I removed this:
The real Buckwheat converted to Islam and changed his name to Kareem al Wheat shortly before his death in 1978.
This is obviously false: Billie Thomas died in 1980; there was NEVER any documentation of him converting to Islam; and...Kareem al Wheat?!? --b. Touch 13:01, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Buckwheat was one of John Crichtons nicknames for Rygel in the TV programme Farscape.

[edit] Buckwheat hulls
I'm surprised that the use of buckwheat hulls in pillows and the like isn't mentioned here. I'll dig around and see what good (and sourced) material I can come up with, but if anyone else has anything more immediately on hand, please go for it. Keldan 02:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- I've added something. It's a start. --Ds13 03:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Appalachia
An anonymous user added "... and are still eaten in portions of Appalachia especially West Virginia." (re buckwheat pancakes). Is there any reason to believe that this is any more true in Appalachia than anywhere else in the US? Waitak 01:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Obviously a local observation - but it would be equally true in any of the traditional buckwheat growing areas. Pollinator 02:07, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

- Is there a WP policy that addresses situations like this? It certainly seems like something that'd come up often - where editors make local observations on articles that treat non-local subjects. Waitak 02:53, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Buc Wheats Cereal
I've read that this cereal was not made with buckwheat at all, but was actually just wheat with a maple coating. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.99.24.54 (talk • contribs) .
