Thakur (2007) evaluated biochemical properties of tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum gaertn) genotypes and also studied the effect of heat treatment on prominent biochemical attributes of buckwheat. The study showed that genotypes namely Sangla-B-214, VL-27, Sangla-B-1,31B-208 and B-201, emerged overall nutritionally superior and multipurpose genotype in order of excellence. Jubete et al. (2009) studied that vitamin E composition differed significantly from grain type to grain type, and highest vitamin E content (expressed as α-tocopherol equivalents) was found in quinoa grains, followed by amaranth and buckwheat (24.7, 15.4, and 6.3 μg/g respectively).
