Buckwheat biotypes contains high amount of protein (7.69-15.47%). Rutin, the most important ingredient of buckwheat was also varies (3.74-6.53%) in different biotypes. It was also found that many essential amino acids are also found in buckwheat. Variations among almost all estimated parameters were found to be highly significant.
