This tentative map is based on our own research. It may have limited data on Canada and/or Mexico, and there is some subjectivity in our assignment of plants as introduced vs. expanded. Read more in this blog post.
This species is widely introduced across much of Canada; we have yet to build this portion of its map.
↑Uses
This species is cultivated as a food plant, where it is both eaten as a grain, and brewed as an herbal tea. It is cultivated and consumed on a much smaller scale than common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), the main staple food crop of this genus.
