As small sepals bloom everywhere, they break into what looks like a white spray of water. When waves break white, fishermen refer to this as “buckwheat flowers rising.” What a fitting expression. The name itself is already beautiful and poetic. Perhaps moreso because of Lee Hyo-seok’s “When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom.

The long stem of the buckwheat grows to 40-70cm and with no petals, it separates into five sepals. Unlike its light and sonorous shape, the buckwheat is a filling plant. It is widely used to make cold noodles because of its effect of discharging heat and moisture out of the body. states that buckwheat has the benefit of eliminating moisture and heat out of the stomach and aids in digestion, which eliminates indigestion accumulated over the year. It is also good for preventing obesity and skin care as it is full of crucial amino acids and vitanmins.

BUCKWEAT FLOWER

The buckwheat stands firm just as “When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom,” which portrays the life of roaming vendors who wandered the areas of Bongpyeong, Gangwon-do in the 1930s.

Several buckwheat flowers bloom in clusters at the end of the stem and the abundant nectar is used as a bee plant. The buckwheat stands firm just as “When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom,” which portrays the life of roaming vendors who wandered the areas of Bongpyeong, Gangwon-do in the 1930s. Just like Lee Hyo-seok’s writing, the buckwheat is said to be best when grown in the cool gravel of the high mountains. How enviable is its ability to grow its slender body on rough land (refer to Naver Encyclopedia).
