Today, food scientists are interested in more rational use of crops that possess desirable nutritional properties, and buckwheat is one of the functional pseudocereals that represents a rich source of bioactive compounds (BACs) and nutrients, phytochemicals, antimicrobial (AM) agents and antioxidants (AOs), which can be effectively applied in the prevention of malnutrition and celiac disease and treatment of various important health problems. There is ample evidence of the high potential of buckwheat consumption in various forms (food, dietary supplements, home remedies or alone, or in synergy with pharmaceutical drugs) with concrete benefits for human health. Contamination as well as other side-effects of all the aforementioned forms for application in different ways in humans must be seriously considered. This review paper presents an overview of the most important recent research related to buckwheat bioactive compounds (BACs), highlighting their various functions and proven positive effects on human health.

In this research, we investigated the physiological modifications, flavonoid metabolism, and antioxidant systems of two buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.) cultivars, Pintian and Suqiao, during germination. The results demonstrated an initial increase followed by a subsequent decline in the flavonoid content of the buckwheat sprouts throughout germination. On the third day of germination, the highest flavonoid concentrations were observed, with the Pintian and Suqiao varieties reaching 996.75 and 833.98 μg/g fresh weight, respectively. Both the activity and relative gene expression level of the flavonoid metabolizing enzyme showed a significant rise in 3-day-old buckwheat sprouts, which was strongly correlated with the flavonoid content. The correlation analysis revealed that the buckwheat sprouts accumulated flavonoids by enhancing the activities and gene expression levels of flavonoid synthases. The antioxidant capacity and the activities and gene expression profiles of the antioxidant enzymes in both buckwheat cultivars notably increased after three days of germination. The correlation analysis indicated a significant positive link between antioxidant capacity and the activity and gene expression levels of the antioxidant enzymes, flavonoid content, and total phenol content. This research demonstrated that germination treatment can significantly boost the accumulation of flavonoids and total phenols, thereby enhancing the antioxidant properties of buckwheat sprouts, despite variations among different buckwheat varieties.
