No published record matching the claim that Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat was originally described in the Huangdi Neijing (Nei Jing) in the 4th century BC was located; this does not prove the claim false.

Historical and botanical records show that textual accounts of the medicinal and dietary use of buckwheat in China did not appear until centuries later, notably during the Tang Dynasty.
